16-971 10mm Dia. N-SF6 Precision Aspheric Lens; EFL=10mm; NA=0.5 NIR-Plus 600-1050nm

The 16-971 is a high-precision aspheric lens, part of the NIR-Plus series from Edmund Optics, specifically designed for use within the 600-1050nm wavelength range. This lens boasts a 10mm diameter and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.5, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require high-resolution imaging and precise focusing.

The lens is made from N-SF6 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The aspheric design of the lens helps to minimize spherical aberration, a common issue in traditional lenses, thereby improving the overall image quality.

The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 10mm, which, combined with its NA, provides a wide field of view and high light-gathering capability. The lens has a center thickness of 7.8mm and an edge thickness of 6.18mm, contributing to its robustness and stability.

The 16-971 lens comes with a specialized coating, edm nirplus600105030, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the near-infrared (NIR) region, improving its transmission and reducing reflection.
