The 45-259 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 15.0mm and a focal length of 100.0mm. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for its high-quality optical elements. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its diameter, thickness, and radii. The diameter is 15.0mm, and the thickness varies from 2.45mm at the edge to 3.0mm at the center. The radius of curvature for the convex surface (R1) is 51.68mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 98.02mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 100.0mm. The lens does not have any inner or outer radii, indicating it is a simple Plano-Convex lens.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a common and high-quality optical glass. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. This lens is spherical, meaning it has a constant curvature throughout its surface.
Please note that this lens is uncoated, which may affect its performance in certain applications. It is essential to consider the environmental conditions and the specific requirements of your application when choosing an optical element.
