Optical Clarity | Telescopes, Magnifying Glasses | Industry: 1.5 Clarity Grade ▲ Our Base: 1.5 Clarity Grade ▲ Our Advanced: 1.6 Clarity Grade (ISO 10110) | Advanced models provide sharper images for detailed observation (e.g., astronomy). | Higher clarity increases cost; basic clarity suffices for casual use. |
Refractive Index | High-Precision Optical Systems | Industry: 1.49 ▲ Our Base: 1.49 ▲ Our Advanced: 1.50 (Optimizes light bending for sharper focus) | Advanced lenses reduce light distortion in critical applications (e.g., microscopy). | Minimal impact on casual users; advanced specs may overcomplicate simple setups. |
Abbe Number (Chromatic Aberration) | Color-Critical Applications (e.g., Art Restoration) | Industry: 32 (Standard PMMA) ▲ Our Base: 32 ▲ Our Advanced: 35 (Reduced color fringing) | Advanced reduces rainbow effects for true-color imaging in precision tasks. | Higher Abbe numbers add cost; standard suffices for non-color-sensitive uses. |
Scratch Resistance | Industrial Inspection, Jewelry Display | Industry: 2H Pencil Hardness ▲ Our Base: 3H ▲ Our Advanced: 5H (ISO 14516) | Advanced protects against accidental scratches in high-traffic environments. | Enhanced coatings may increase fragility in extreme impacts. |
Weight | Portable Devices (e.g., Handheld Magnifiers) | Industry: Glass (2.5 g/cm³) ▲ Our Base: PMMA (1.18 g/cm³) ▲ Our Advanced: Same as Base | Base/Advanced are 53% lighter than glass, improving portability. | PMMA may scratch more easily than glass (counterbalanced by coatings in Advanced). |
Certifications | EU Market Compliance | Industry: None ▲ Our Base: EPR_Germany_Packing ▲ Our Advanced: EPR_Germany + France_Packing | Advanced meets stricter EU regulations for broader market access. | Compliance costs increase with certifications; Base suffices for Germany-only sales. |
