The 49-290 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, boasting a 50mm diameter and an effective focal length of 500mm, specifically designed for the visible light spectrum ranging from 425 to 675nm. This lens is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is available for purchase through their website.
The lens is constructed from two types of glass, N-BK7 and N-SF5, both from Schott, ensuring excellent optical performance. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the EDM VIS-0 standard curve coating, providing improved light transmission and reduced surface reflections.
The lens geometry is carefully designed with a 10.51mm thickness at the edge, a center thickness of 8mm, and a center thickness 'a' of 4mm. The first and second radii of curvature are 305.74mm and -223.2mm respectively, while the third radius of curvature is -663.82mm. The lens is circular in shape and is classified as a multiplet due to its multiple glass elements.
