The 38-445-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.0mm, is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically between 350-700nm. The lens has a front and back coating of edm vis ext, which enhances its performance in the visible light spectrum.
The lens has a thickness of 1.22mm at the edge and 2.7mm at the center, with a focal length (efl) of 25mm. The radius of curvature (r1) is 12.92mm, and the back focal length (bfl) is 32.22mm. The 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, which is a process that adds a dye or pigment to the surface of the lens. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to mark the lens for identification or to reduce reflections. The lens is circular in base shape, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The weblink status is valid and in stock, indicating that the lens is readily available for purchase. This lens is a versatile and high-performing option for those needing a Plano-Convex lens for use in the visible light spectrum.
