The 32-011 12.0mm Dia. x 24.0mm FL Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.0mm and a focal length of 24.0mm, is a spherical lens of the plano-convex type, featuring a base shape that is circular.
The lens's geometry is meticulously designed, with a thickness at the edge of 1.25mm and a center thickness of 2.8mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 24.0mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 12.42mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 22.15mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a plano surface.
The lens is made from the material n-BK7 Schott, a popular choice in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical performance. However, uncoated lenses can still provide high-quality imaging, especially in applications where the light path is not excessively long or where anti-reflective coatings are not necessary.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, which is in the yellow-green part of the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, machine vision, scientific research, and various industrial and commercial uses.
