Chrome Reticle

Reticles

A patterned chrome reticle on glass for alignment, measurement and imaging, quoted from the pattern data and feature size.

Pattern dataDXF / Gerber / vector PDF

This is a drawing-led item. The reference values below help frame the discussion; the pattern, groove or spectral data on your drawing controls the quotation.

Chrome reticles are defined by the pattern data, line width, chrome thickness, substrate and inspection method. Send the pattern in a vector format and state the critical feature size and allowable defect level. The illustration is representative; final pattern and tolerances are confirmed from your data.
