• Now, after the process of bathing and washing, the coating process requires no trace of moisture on it. Therefore, through air drying and heating of the lenses, they are made moist-free.
• Further processes are held in the coating chamber. This chamber is sealed so that the air does not pass through to make sure that the vacuum is created. The lenses for making anti-reflecting glasses are shifted there in racks.
• The racks with super clean and dry lenses rotate simultaneously, and a beam of electrons containing metal oxides is emitted onto every compartment.
