The 46-115 0.30 mm Dia. Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated are precision optical components designed for a wide range of applications. These lenses are sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor known for its high-quality optical elements.
The lenses feature a ball shape with a diameter of 0.30 mm, making them suitable for use in compact optical systems. The base shape is circular, ensuring a smooth and consistent light path. The geometry of these lenses is defined by their diameter, with no inner or outer radius, which is typical for ball lenses.
These sapphire ball lenses are made from a material identified as al2o3 mal-1972-n-o in the item data. Sapphire is a highly durable and scratch-resistant material, making these lenses ideal for use in harsh environments.
The lenses are designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. This makes them suitable for use in applications such as microscopy, spectroscopy, and other fields where precise manipulation and control of light is required.
Notably, these lenses are uncoated, meaning they do not have any additional layers applied to their surface. This can affect their performance in certain applications, particularly those involving high-intensity light or specific wavelengths. However, uncoated lenses can also offer advantages such as lower cost and simpler fabrication.
