-
Name: Name of material (Length: max. 30 characters)
-
Description: Description of material (Length: max. 62 characters)
-
NX: Material is characterized by three refractive indices
-
ABBE: Material is characterized by a refractive index and the Abbe number
-
nF: Refractive index nF at 486 nm (min: 1.0, max: 4.0)
-
nd: Refractive index nd at 587 nm (min: 1.0, max: 4.0)
-
nC: Refractive index nC at 656 nm (min: 1.0, max: 4.0)
-
Abbe number: Abbe number vd (min: 10.0, max: 200.0)
The refractive indices and Abbe number are processed with six decimal places.
If the material name is already assigned, this material is being edited. Otherwise a new material is applied.
There is a maximum of 20 materials.
The refractive index is set with 6 decimals.
