The 32-978 is a 50mm diameter, double-convex lens with a 50mm focal length, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with its spherical geometry, is designed for use in a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is fabricated from the high-quality material, n-SF11 Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm. The lens has a thickness of 7.39mm at the edge and 16mm at the center, providing robustness and durability.
The lens's geometry includes a 74.78mm radius of curvature for the first surface and a -74.78mm radius of curvature for the second surface. The back focal length (BFL) is 45.3mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm. These parameters make the lens suitable for various applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and light collimation.
The lens is uncoated, offering users the flexibility to apply their preferred coating based on their specific application requirements. This uncoated feature also allows for customization, making the lens adaptable to various optical systems.
