The 38-450 is a Plano-Convex spherical lens, part of the extensive catalog offered by Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a diameter of 12.5mm and a focal length of 17.5mm, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material ensures high-quality image transmission and reduces chromatic aberration, making the lens suitable for use in a wide range of wavelengths, specifically from 350 to 700nm.
The 38-450 features VIS-EXT coatings on both the front and back surfaces. These coatings are designed to enhance the lens's performance in the visible spectrum, further reducing reflection and increasing transmission. The edge thickness of the lens is 1.29mm, while the center thickness is 3.8mm, providing a robust and durable structure.
The lens's geometry is another notable feature. The inner radius is 0mm, and the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature. The radius of curvature (R1) is 9.05mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 15mm, providing a clear focus point and efficient light gathering.
