    Default Small optical disc for project.

    Wondering if anyone here can help. And I cant think of a better place to ask this.

    I'm making a little device that will shine light through a liquid and measure how much of this light is lost, so essentially how clear or not it is, I already have it working as prototype, but need to make something more "solid" I need to find somewhere that I can get small glass discs I can use as an optical window to keep the sensor away from the liquid. I'm guessing i need something thats about 8-10mm dia and 2-3mm thick.

    Any suggestions!?

    Cheers!

    AR coated disks suitable for prototyping come from SurplusShed.com

    after that, you need a production supplier, some one will suggest Edmund optics but their prices can be beat elsewhere.
