Precision Glass Molding Flawless Glass is Born from Flawless Molding
In the ongoing pursuit for excellence in lens manufacturing, Nikon developed a special molding technique effective for medium- to large-diameter Aspherical lens elements, which were previously considered to be difficult to mold. Precision Glass Molding (PGM) is the highly meticulous process by which optical glass is softened by heating, then shaped in an Aspherical mold made of special heat-resistant material. This technology has become widely adopted in the manufacture of Aspherical camera lens elements.
Aspherical Lens Element Design Optical Flaw Correction with Superior Resolution
In 1968, Nikon introduced the first camera lens to use an Aspherical lens element. What sets them apart? Aspherical lens elements are lens elements with complex curved surfaces, where the radius of curvature changes to optimize light transmission and correct distortions that occur in “normal” spherical lenses. Aspherical lens elements provide superior resolution performance and contribute to a lighter and smaller lens design.
