The 49-768 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens from Edmund Optics, designed with a 25.4 mm diameter and a focal length of 76.2 mm. This lens is a multiplet, meaning it is composed of multiple optical elements to achieve superior performance.
The lens is constructed from two types of glass, N-SSK8 and N-SF56, both from Schott. These materials are known for their excellent optical properties, contributing to the lens's high-performance characteristics. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard MgF2 coating on both the front and back surfaces, which provides broadband anti-reflection performance in the 400-700 nm range.
The geometry of the lens is carefully designed to optimize its optical performance. The edge thickness is 7.85 mm, while the center thickness is 7 mm with an additional 3 mm step in the center. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a symmetrical design. The first radius of curvature (r1) is 50.85 mm, and the second radius (r2) is -40.06 mm, followed by a third radius (r3) of -148.78 mm.
