Sapphire domes are used when a full range of view is needed in a harsh environment. Cameras or sensors are placed up inside the dome allowing them to see all around them.Sapphire has the characteristic of high hardness,hign strength, high transmittance,with high resistance to thermal shock quality factor, excellent performance on themal-shock resistance and abrasion resistance.
