The 32-315 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens from Edmund Optics, designed with a 12.5 mm diameter and a focal length of 40mm. This lens is a multiplet, meaning it is composed of multiple optical elements to achieve superior performance.
The lens is constructed from two types of glass, N-BK7 and N-SF5, both from Schott. N-BK7, also known as BK7, is a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties and high transmittance in the visible spectrum. N-SF5, on the other hand, is a dense flint glass with a high refractive index and dispersion, making it ideal for achromatic applications.
The lens features a standard MgF2 coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating reduces reflection and increases transmission in the 400-700nm range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3.88mm at the edge, a central thickness of 3.73mm, and a thickness of 1.33mm at the center a. The lens also features radii of curvature of 24.77mm, -18.01mm, and -51.17mm for the first, second, and third surfaces, respectively.
