1 Phasics creates the

revolution in infrared optics

quality control with the Kaleo
Bench-IR series. These inno-
vative benches offer both MTF
and wavefront quality (aber-
rations, WFE) in one single
fast acquisition. They cover
the full IR range from 1.2 µm
to 14 µm.
Their unique patented techno-
