The 49-278 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 5 mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 20 mm, specifically designed for the visible light spectrum, spanning 425-675 nm.
The lens is meticulously crafted from two distinct materials, N-BAF10 and N-SF10, both from Schott's extensive catalog. These materials are known for their exceptional optical properties, contributing to the lens's overall performance. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard Vis-0 coating on both the front and back surfaces, ensuring optimal light transmission and protection against environmental factors.
The lens's geometry is intricately designed, with a thickness of 2.38 mm at the edge, gradually decreasing to 1.61 mm at the center. The first and second radii of curvature are 14.11 mm and -8.63 mm, respectively, while the third radius of curvature is -75.59 mm. The lens's design is a multiplet, featuring multiple elements to correct optical aberrations and enhance image quality.
