These lenses were specially developed for applications in the UV spectral range. Since standard glass materials of common lenses are not transparent for UV light, these products are made out of lenses based on quartz. Due to this, UV lenses can be used with wavelengths down to 200nm.

Possible applications are e.g. medical and criminal investigations (for example detection of counterfeits) or minearlogic measurements in the nm range. Also the inspection of transparent materials is possible with UV light.
