In addition to these corrections, reflecting objectives have the following advantages when compared to standard refracting microscope objectives:

​

• Longer working distances relative to the magnification;

• Large numerical apertures for improved light gathering power;

• High throughput from UV to far infrared;

• Coatings available to enhance performance at specific wavelength regions;

​

Applications include conventional microscopy and beam delivery systems.  With their unique lack of chromatic aberrations they excel especially where a dual wavelength operations is required, such as alignment to a visible beam for working with an IR or UV beam laser.  Other uses include:

​

• FT-IR spectroscopy

• UV metrology and microscopy

• Semiconductor wafer inspection

• Photomicroscopy

• Photolithography

• Thin film measurements

• Laser beam delivery systems

• Laser drilling and etching

• Product marking

• Laser pumping

• Thermal imaging microscopy

• Other reflective objective lens applications
