2.4.11 Quality
Filters and windows of the detectors from InfraTec comply with MIL-F-48616, a specification for purchasing IR inter-
ference filters for the US army. For military new developments it is not anymore in use (inactive), but still valid and is
used very frequently in non-military fields because of lack of comparable standards there.

 Surface quality: F-F

 Resistance to environmental influences
 Temperature § 4.6.9.1
 Humidity § 4.6.8.2
 Medium abrasion resistance § 4.6.8.3
 Adhesion § 4.6.8.1
 Solubility and possibility for cleaning § 4.6.9.2
