The 38-496-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 to near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectrum, specifically catering to wavelengths between 400-1000nm.
The lens features a front and back coating of edm visnir0sp2002000, which is a broadband anti-reflection coating optimized for the VIS-NIR range. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.19mm at the edge and 1.9mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 25.84mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 48.75mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a plano surface on the incident side.
This lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion. The lens's base shape is circular, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The item data indicates that this lens is in stock, and the vendor's website provides further details and specifications. This lens is a reliable choice for applications in the VIS-NIR spectrum, offering high transmission and quality imaging.
