32-956 6.0mm Dia. x 24.0mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Uncoated
The 32-956 is a Plano-Convex Lens with a diameter of 6.0mm and a focal length of 24.0mm, sourced from the reputable optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to alter or enhance its optical properties.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 1.13mm and a thickness center of 1.5mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 24.01mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 12.4mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 23.01mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature.
The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6nm.
This lens is a spherical lens, meaning it has a surface that is a portion of a sphere. The spherical shape is a common choice for lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and good optical performance.
