The 45-259-INK is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 15.0mm and a focal length of 100.0mm, is a part of the Spherical Lens category, specifically designed for applications requiring a curved, yet consistent optical surface.
The lens's geometry is intricately designed, with a thickness of 2.45mm at the edge and 3.0mm at the center. The base shape is circular, ensuring uniform light distribution and minimal distortion. The effective focal length (EFL) is 100.0mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 51.68mm, contributing to its high-performance optical capabilities.
The lens is made from the high-quality material, N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low auto-fluorescence. This material is ideal for applications in the visible spectrum, with a wavelength of 587.6nm.
Notably, this lens is uncoated and inked, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface coatings. However, the ink provides a clear marking for easy identification. This lens is currently in stock and available for immediate use.
