The 49-959 20mm Dia. x 30mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a base shape of a circle, is a Spherical Lens of the Plano-Convex subtype, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens has a diameter of 20mm and a thickness at the edge of 1.69mm. The thickness at the center of the lens is 6mm, providing a substantial focal length of 30mm (EFL). The inner radius of the lens is 0mm, while the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature. The lens's base shape, combined with its geometry, makes it suitable for various applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and light collimation.
The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors. However, uncoated lenses often provide superior image quality due to the absence of interference from coating layers.
