This is a 10.0mm diameter x 10.0mm focal length plano-convex lens, specifically designed for the visible light spectrum with a 0° coating. The lens is sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is currently in stock.
The lens is made of n-SF11 Schott material, a lead-silicate glass known for its high refractive index and low dispersion, making it ideal for a wide range of optical applications. The plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light bending while maintaining a compact form factor.
The lens has a 1.45mm edge thickness and a 3.25mm center thickness, providing structural rigidity and resistance to deformation. The effective focal length (EFL) is 10mm, which, combined with the lens's diameter, offers a wide field of view and high light gathering capability.
The VIS 0° coating on both the front and back surfaces is standard from Edmund Optics. This coating reduces surface reflections and increases transmission in the visible light spectrum, enhancing the overall performance of the lens. The coating is designed for a 0° angle of incidence, ensuring optimal performance when the light is perpendicular to the lens surface.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6nm, which falls within the green portion of the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications such as fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, and other applications where green light is involved.
