38-312-INK 15.0mm Dia. x 50.0mm FL; VIS 0deg; Inked; Plano-Convex Lens VIS 0° 425-675nm
The 38-312-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 15.0mm, is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically between 425-675nm. The lens features a front and back coating of edm vis-0 std curve, providing standard performance and durability.
The lens has a thickness of 1.39mm at the edge and 2.5mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 25.84mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 48.35mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature across its surface.
This lens is made of n-bk7 schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and relatively low cost. The lens is inked, a process that adds a dye to the edge of the lens to indicate its orientation. This is particularly useful in applications where the lens' orientation is critical.
The lens' geometry and material make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications. The edm vis-0 std curve coating enhances its performance in the visible light spectrum, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-quality imaging or light transmission in this range.
