Ok for you, I just pulled my Omega 10x10 carrier out of the enlarger 
and it has two sheets of standard optical glass but not AN. To my 
knowledge AN appears with a Matte surface unlike standard optical grade 
glass. It (AN) will look less than perfectly clear. Imop & Perhaps 
Richard K. can corroborate AN is only needed with a Condenser housing, I 
have an Omega diffused Halogen one of three known to exist.
