Germanium Meniscus Lenses

Alkor Technologies - manufacturer of Germanium meniscus lenses for Thermal Imaging Cameras and Pyrometry.

Germanium positive Meniscus Lenses used with the shorter radius facing the longer conjugate. These lenses act as focusing element with less aberrations than plano-convex lenses.
