The 32-965 is a high-quality double-convex lens, boasting a 6mm diameter and a focal length of 12mm. This lens is sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is currently in stock, as indicated by its weblink status.
The lens is crafted from the esteemed N-BK7 Schott material, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including low dispersion and high transmission across a wide spectrum. The lens features a standard MgF2 coating on both the front and back surfaces, which enhances its performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission, particularly within the 400-700nm wavelength range.
The geometry of the lens is meticulously designed, with an edge thickness of 1.64mm and a center thickness of 2.4mm. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 12mm, and its back focal length (BFL) is 11.18mm. The first and second radii of curvature (R1 and R2) are 11.98mm and -11.98mm, respectively, indicating a symmetric, double-convex design.
