Abstract
A diamond lens (3) configured for use in a multispectral imaging system (1). The diamond lens (3) has a largest linear dimension of at least 10 mm and is formed from diamond material having a birefringence An of greater than 1×10−4, measured over a specified area of at least 4 mm by 4 mm through a maximum thickness of at least 400 μm. A multispectral imaging system (1) comprising the diamond lens (3) and a component (2) comprising the diamond lens are also described.
