The 32-018 is a 9mm diameter, 9mm focal length (FL) spherical lens, boasting a double-convex base shape and sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics. This uncoated lens is designed for use in a variety of optical applications, offering a high level of performance and versatility.
The lens features an edge thickness of 1.6mm and a center thickness of 3.45mm, ensuring durability and precision. Its effective focal length (EFL) is 9mm, making it suitable for systems that require a compact, high-performance lens. The first and second radii of curvature (R1 and R2) are 11.38mm and -11.38mm, respectively, contributing to the lens's double-convex shape. The back focal length (BFL) is 7.9mm, which should be taken into account when integrating this lens into an optical system.
The 32-018 lens is made from n-SF5 Schott material, a popular choice for its excellent optical properties. It is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications. The lens's shape is spherical, ensuring excellent light gathering capabilities and minimal optical aberrations.
Please note that this lens does not come with any coating, which may affect its performance in certain applications. However, its uncoated state offers the advantage of lower cost and simplicity, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious users or those who prefer to apply their own custom coatings.
