The 62-493 is a high-quality negative achromatic doublet lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, offering impressive performance within the visible light spectrum of 425-675nm. This lens boasts a diameter of 25mm and an effective focal length (EFL) of -75mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is constructed from two types of Schott glass: N-BK7 and N-SF5. These materials are carefully selected for their optical properties, contributing to the lens's ability to correct chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems. The negative achromatic design further enhances the lens's ability to focus light accurately, reducing spherical aberration and distortion.
The lens features a standard coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, identified as 'edm vis-0 std curve', is designed to enhance the lens's light transmission and reduce surface reflections, thereby improving overall system performance.
The lens geometry is also noteworthy. It has a thickness of 8.9mm at the edge, with a central thickness of 2.5mm. The lens also features three radii of curvature: r1 at -46.07mm, r2 at 36.65mm, and r3 at 108mm. These geometric features contribute to the lens's excellent optical performance.
