The 37-791 is a Plano-Convex spherical lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 12.5mm diameter and a 35.0mm focal length (FL), making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its 1.29mm edge thickness and 2.4mm center thickness, providing a solid yet lightweight structure. The base shape is circular, ensuring uniform light distribution and minimal distortion.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is particularly suitable for applications that require high image quality and precise light control, such as imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The 37-791 lens operates at a wavelength of 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it ideal for applications that involve visible light, such as machine vision, biomedical imaging, and optical metrology.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or protective coatings. While this may result in higher reflectivity and susceptibility to environmental factors, it also allows for greater customization, as users can apply coatings that best suit their specific application needs.
