32-972 50.0mm Dia. x 100.0mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Uncoated
The 32-972 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 50.0mm and a focal length of 100.0mm, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens is uncoated, offering users a bare, unaltered optical surface.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a 3.55mm edge thickness and a 10mm center thickness, providing a robust structure suitable for various applications. The base shape is circular, ensuring consistent performance across the lens's entire surface.
The lens is made of the high-quality material n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties, including low dispersion and high homogeneity. This material is ideal for applications requiring high-precision imaging and minimal chromatic aberration.
The lens's design features a spherical shape, with a radius of curvature of 51.68mm for the convex surface. The back focal length is 93.41mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature across the entire lens surface.
The lens is optimized for a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for applications in the yellow-green part of the visible light spectrum. This wavelength range is commonly used in various fields, including fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, and laser-based systems.
