The 45-291 is a high-quality double-convex lens, boasting a 6mm diameter and a focal length of 36mm. This lens is sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics, and is currently in stock, as indicated by its weblink status.
The lens is made from the high-grade material, n-bk7 schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a standard spherical shape, with radii of curvature of 36.87mm and -36.87mm for the first and second surfaces, respectively.
The lens has a center thickness of 2mm and an edge thickness of 1.76mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact form factor. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 36mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 35.33mm, offering versatile usage options.
The lens is coated with MgF2 on both the front and back surfaces, which is a standard coating known for its excellent transmission properties in the 400-700nm wavelength range. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing light transmission, making it an ideal choice for various applications.
