AR Coated Coverslips

An antireflective or anti-reflection (AR) coating is a type of optical coating applied to the surface of lenses and other optical elements to reduce reflection. Coverslips can be coated with Indium Tin Oxide and given an antireflective finish. The elimination of reflection is the main benefit of using anti reflective optical coatings on coverslips.

In typical imaging systems, the use of AR coatings improves the efficiency as less light is lost due to reflection. In complex systems such as telescopes and microscopes the reduction in reflections also improves the contrast of the image by the elimination of stray light when using anti reflective coatings.
