The 11-724 is a high-quality Spherical Lens (Plano-Convex) with a circular base shape, sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 25.4mm diameter and a focal length of 450mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from UVFS MAL-1965, a material specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum. This material ensures high transmittance and low absorption, making it ideal for applications that require precise and accurate light transmission.
The lens's geometry is another notable feature. It has a thickness of 1.21mm at the edge and 1.6mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a slim profile. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a flat surface on both sides of the lens. The back focal length is 449.39mm, and the effective focal length is 450mm, providing a long focal length that can capture detailed images from a distance.
This lens is uncoated, offering users the flexibility to apply their preferred coating based on their specific application requirements. However, it's important to note that without a coating, the lens may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, which could affect its performance over time.
