The 32-321 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens is designed with a base shape of 25 mm diameter and a focal length of 40mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is composed of two elements: S-BAH11 from Ohara and N-SF10 from Schott. These materials are carefully selected to minimize chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems. The S-BAH11 is a borosilicate glass with high Abbe number, reducing dispersion and improving color correction. The N-SF10 is a dense fluorite crown glass, known for its excellent transmittance and low auto-fluorescence.
The lens features a standard MgF2 coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's light transmission capabilities, particularly in the 400-700nm spectrum, and provides protection against environmental factors.
The geometry of the lens is meticulously designed, with a central thickness of 9.5mm, an edge thickness of 8.54mm, and inner and outer radii of 0mm. The lens also has a unique curvature, with radii of 27.97mm, -18.85mm, and -152.94mm, contributing to its superior optical performance.
