Our test methods and instruments may be used with almost any transparent or translucent materials (generally a minimum of 25% transmissivity is required). Here are a few of the applications where our equipment has been successfully used to measure residual stress and/or birefringence:

• Ceramics
• Quartz
• BaF2 and other crystalline materials
• Fiber optic preforms
• Special glass compositions

Let us know about your special application – we’ll be glad to evaluate a sample at no charge.
