38-300-INK 12.7mm Dia. x 30.0mm FL; VIS 0deg; Inked; Plano-Convex Lens VIS 0° 425-675nm
This product is a Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 38-300-INK, is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, designed for use within the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6nm.
The lens has a diameter of 12.7mm and a thickness at the edge of 1.34mm, while the center thickness measures 2.7mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 30mm, and it has a front radius (R1) of 15.51mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 28.22mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a plano surface on the incident side.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The lens features a VIS 0° coating on both the front and back surfaces, which is Edmund Optics' standard curve coating for the visible light spectrum. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission.
The lens is inked, which is a process that adds a marking or identification to the lens. This can be useful for inventory management or for identifying the orientation of the lens during assembly.
