The 48-712 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 5.0mm diameter and a focal length of 12.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is crafted from N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material ensures high-quality imaging and minimal chromatic aberration. The lens's geometry includes a 1.25mm edge thickness and a 1.77mm center thickness, providing robustness and stability.
The 48-712 lens features a front and back coating of EDM NIR-I STD Curve, a specialized coating designed for the near-infrared spectrum (600-1050nm). This coating enhances the lens's transmission capabilities within this spectrum, making it ideal for applications such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and night vision.
The lens's base shape is circular, allowing for versatile mounting and integration into various optical systems. The lack of an inner or outer radius indicates a simple, straightforward design, making it easy to incorporate into existing setups.
