Optics for
fighting covid-19

Optics are enabling key technologies in the fight against COVID-19, which is caused by the novel coronavirus. Various optical components play a critical role in the tools frontline healthcare workers use to combat this global health crisis. These include, among others, filters and lenses in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems that replicate DNA samples for testing and germanium optics in infrared fever detection systems.
