The 32-852 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 12.0mm and a focal length of 48.0mm. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical components. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its diameter, thickness, and focal length. The edge thickness of the lens is 1.76mm, while the center thickness is 2.5mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 48.0mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point. The radius of curvature (R1) is 24.82mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 46.36mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm. The lens's shape is spherical, which is the most common and simplest type of lens shape.
Please note that the lens is uncoated, which means it may not perform optimally in certain environments or under certain conditions. Coatings can enhance the lens's performance by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, and protecting the lens from environmental factors. If you require a coated lens, please consider other options in our catalog.
In conclusion, the 32-852 is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens suitable for various applications. Its uncoated design makes it a cost-effective option, but it may not perform optimally in all conditions. Always consider the lens's specifications and your application requirements before making a purchase.
