Glass with anti-reflection coating

We are all familiar with reflections on glass surfaces. These can be disturbing not only on shop windows and showcases, but also on many glasses that we encounter in daily life.

Anti-reflective lenses, such as GEWE-pure^® vision, reduce the glare effect and enable a clear, unadulterated view – regardless of whether you want to look in, out or at it.

The refinement of the glasses here is possibly more sophisticated than laymen suspect. After all, this is based on the effect of interference optical anti-reflective coating by means of a coating system that is only a few micrometers thick. It is based on the destructive interference of light waves, which can reduce reflections to less than 1%. Similar to anti-reflective lenses, the surface of the lens remains smooth and the transparency is completely preserved. The coating is applied to the lenses by coater or dipping process.

Because of its frequent use, the glass coated in this way is often referred to as “museum glass” in the vernacular. The exhibits are reproduced faithfully and unadulterated by the glasses, while the coating also blocks harmful UV light.
