The 48-429 is a 2.00 mm diameter circular half-ball lens, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, designed for general-purpose use, is a part of their extensive catalog and is currently in stock, as indicated by its weblink status.
The lens is made of sapphire, a material with the ID al2o3 mal-1972-n-o, known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and scratch resistance. The lens has a diameter of 2.00 mm and a thickness of 1.00 mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component.
The half-ball shape of the lens, also known as a hemispherical lens, is defined by its inner radius of 0 and outer radius of 0, with the base radius (r1) being 1.00 mm. This shape is ideal for applications requiring a wide field of view and minimal optical aberrations.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in many applications, especially where high transparency is required.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. Its detailed parameters and high-quality material make it a reliable choice for various optical applications.
