At https://www.spectral-systems.com/technical-data-sheet/zns-zinc-sulfide/ the image for IR spectrum at https://www.spectral-systems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2-mm-ZnS-IR-Spectrum.jpg is missing. I am trying to find ZnS or ZnSe lenses to test an idea. But since it does not have to be durable, any solid low cost material transparent from 2-18 micron would do.
I was simply checking to see how accessible and clear the data and methods, the sources and provenance of the information. If things are broken, or if they are difficult, to impossible, to access. I was checking to see if the pages were accessible to 350 Million blind or restricted vision, 450 Million deaf, millions

There should be a large region of stability where protons bind by magnetic dipole energy. PP magnetic bonds are stronger then NP, are stronger then NN, usually. But conditions for PP binding from natural sources? Most of the isotopes are NP, and then NN. NP pairs (magnetic dipole pairs) are the core of most isotopes.
