LPX-12.5-129.7-C 12.5 mm Dia. N-BK7 Image Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=250mm Uncoated
The LPX-12.5-129.7-C is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, sourced from CVI Laser Optics, designed for optimal imaging performance. This lens boasts a 12.5 mm diameter and a focal length of 250mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from N-BK7, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Schott glass, offers a high refractive index and low dispersion, ensuring crisp and clear images. The plano-convex design further enhances the lens's performance, providing a flat surface for imaging and a curved surface for focusing light.
The geometry of this lens is meticulously designed, with an edge thickness of 2.9mm and a center thickness of 3mm. The radius of curvature is 129.7mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature. This design ensures minimal distortion and aberration, contributing to the lens's superior image quality.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While this may result in a slightly lower transmission rate compared to coated lenses, it ensures a more cost-effective solution without compromising on image quality.
