Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) is deposited as a nanometer-thin film on optical surfaces to reduce reflections to near zero. Born from the combination of magnesium's lightness and fluorine's tenacious bonding, it transmits wavelengths from UV to IR with virtually no loss. An indispensable silent guardian in laser optics, space telescopes, and camera lenses.
