Incorporated Central Stops can be any size, and they are electroplated as a separate process when the Zone Plate is complete, at additional cost. Alternatively, separate foil Central Stops are available. Click here for a complete list of stock foil Central Stops. The foils are easy to handle, and can be cut with scissors to the exact size required. A simple holder design can be used for the alignment of ZP and Central Stop.
