The 49-176 is a Plano-Convex Lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a base shape of a circle, has a diameter of 3.0mm and a focal length of 6.0mm. The lens's edge thickness is 1.41mm, while the center thickness is 1.8mm, making it a robust and durable option.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material makes the lens suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, as it is coated to optimize performance within the 400-1000nm wavelength range.
The coating on both the front and back of the lens is 'edm visnir0sp2002000', a proprietary coating from Edmund Optics designed to enhance the lens's performance in the visible and near-infrared regions. This coating ensures high transmission and low reflectance, making the lens an ideal choice for various applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and light collimation.
