Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) is a white, crystalline mineral commonly used in optical applications due to its high transparency in ultraviolet (UV) and visible light ranges. It is frequently used to manufacture optical lenses, windows, and coatings for devices like telescopes, microscopes, and cameras. Additionally, magnesium fluoride serves as an anti-reflective coating in optical equipment and is utilized in the production of certain types of glass and ceramics. It is also employed in the semiconductor industry and as a flux in metal processing.
