Abstract

We present experimental results relating to the development of film-forming immersion compounds having a variety of chemical compositions and a wide range of indices of refraction (1.51–1.63). These composite materials contain nontoxic organic compounds whose optimum ratios ensure that they are transparent in the visible region of the spectrum and have high adhesion to the surface of optical glasses and crystals.
