First post. Would this piece of germanium work as a sacrificial lens

? Would the image be affected at all? Thanks

Interesting.

Can you mount them, if ever they were appropriate?

I would have to look for diy mounting options

Edit any ideas?

I got in contact with these guys to help spec out and source a sac lens for my Safran TAD.

@CoryT is doing the lens holder design.

Why you need a sacrificial lens ?

More of a want than a need

I’m looking at ~$180 for a 20x5mm lens, before shipping.

Thants not too bad. Have you gotten it yet?

Not yet. I’m waiting on the lens holder design to get finalized, in case I end up needing a different size.

If and when this gets figured out and done, please let me know, I'd purchase if it is done well and allows to nuc without issues, etc.

I’ll drop a review in the Safran TAD thread when I get everything put together.

A lens holder prototype is done, using the original cap to cover the window for startup/NUC. I'll be sending it out for test shortly, but it looks pretty clean, if the window is good quality it should work nicely.
