The 49-957 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, boasting a 20 mm diameter and a focal length of 50 mm, specifically designed for the visual (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, spanning 400-1000nm. This lens is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is a multiplet type, ensuring superior image quality and minimal chromatic aberration.
The lens is crafted from two distinct materials, N-SSK8 and N-SF56, both from the esteemed Schott glass catalog. These materials are carefully selected to optimize the lens's performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum. The lens features a robust design, with a thickness of 4.78mm at the edge and 4.8mm at the center, ensuring durability and longevity.
The 49-957 is coated with Edmund Optics' proprietary VIS-NIR coating, denoted as edm visnir0sp2002000, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's transmission capabilities and reduces surface reflections, further improving image quality.
