The 32-496 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens is designed with a base shape of 30 mm diameter and a focal length of 50 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is composed of two types of glass, N-BAF10 and N-SF10, both from Schott. These materials are known for their excellent optical properties, contributing to the lens's high performance. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard MgF2 coating on both the front and back surfaces, which enhances its transmission capabilities within the 400-700nm spectrum.
The geometry of the lens is meticulously designed, with an edge thickness of 9.25 mm, an inner radius of 0 mm, and an outer radius of 0 mm. The center thickness is 11 mm, with an additional 2.2 mm at the center a. The lens's design includes three radii: r1 at 34.81 mm, r2 at -22.12 mm, and r3 at -203.48 mm.
This lens is a multiplet, meaning it is composed of multiple elements. The multiplet design helps to correct chromatic aberrations, making the lens an ideal choice for applications that require high image quality and color correction.
