Where Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm Sits in the Range

Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm combines a 3.49 mm diameter with a 29.00 mm relay pitch, a pairing suited to multi-element relay builds with more cross-section for the optics.

This larger-diameter pairing is usually found in multi-element relay sections where the optical cross-section is designed for more elements.

What to Confirm for Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm

Design note: Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm suits multi-element builds; confirm element count and interface diameters on your drawing.

Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm — The Numbers Go on Your COA

Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm batches carry measured diameter, length and centration on the COA.

We measure it — and the numbers go on your COA.

Every batch is verified with interferometry, centration measurement and surface inspection. You get the actual measured values, not a “within spec” checkbox.

Interferometric surface verification for this product line

Surface Figure

Surface form tested by interferometry — PV/RMS values from the actual measurement.

Rod lens centration measured at 2.02 arcmin

Centration

Centration checked on the centration station, typically ≤3′. The reading shown is from a real part — 2.02′.

Surface inspection under video microscope

Surface Quality

Surface and edge quality inspected under a video microscope — scratch/dig per MIL-PRF-13830B.
