The 38-473-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a base shape of a circle, has a diameter of 25.4mm and a thickness at the edge of 1.54mm. The center thickness is 5.9mm, and it has an effective focal length (EFL) of 40mm. The lens's front surface has a radius of curvature of 20.67mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 36.11mm.
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 coated with EDM VIS EXT on both the front and back surfaces, a coating designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically between 350-700nm. This coating enhances the lens's transmission in the visible spectrum, making it ideal for applications that require high light transmission in this range.
The 38-473-INK lens is in stock and available for immediate purchase from the Edmund Optics website. Its detailed specifications make it a suitable choice for various applications that require a Plano-Convex lens with specific properties.
