Hi all, I am looking for coverglass with anti-reflection coating. Are there any suppliers/ manufactures in US/ Canada. Thanks in advance for your help.

You might consider these ultra-thin windows:

http://www.edmundoptics.com/onlinecatalog/displayproduct.cfm?productID=3241

You would need to use these with an objective that has coverslip thickness adjustment, since they are 0.20 mm thick instead of 0.17 mm.  The index and dispersion may also be slightly off from normal coverslips.  The price is quite high, but the optical quality and antireflection coating are excellent.

No commercial interest.  Good luck--Deron

You could try asking esco:

http://www.escoproducts.com/

They sell coverslips and would probably be willing to add an AR coating for you.

No commercial interest. We've used them in the past for odd custom
optics (including super-thin windows) and they've always been good.

Just a word of caution while using AR coated coverslips with high NA lenses:
In general, AR coating depends on angle of incidence, polarization of the
light, and the refractive index of the medium.

Dear list,

I am also looking for coverslips with AR coating and would be happy if you share your experiences. Ideal for my purpose would be round 18mm coverslips with 0.17mm thickness.

best,
Michael

AR coatings are fairly expensive, so I think you'd be hard-pressed to find
somebody who would make them for coverslips since coverslips are usually
considered disposable.  That said, if you have the cash you could get some
custom-coated.  A run would probably cost you in the $2000-4000 dollar
range though...  If you plan on re-using them you'd also want them made
from a fairly sturdy material.
