The 63-560 is a high-quality spherical lens, boasting a double-convex design and a sizable 40mm diameter. This lens is sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics, and is available for immediate purchase. The lens's focal length is also 40mm, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens is crafted from the high-index glass material, n-sf11 from Schott, which contributes to its impressive performance. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a geometry that includes an edge thickness of 1.74mm and a center thickness of 8.5mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 40mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 37.54mm.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, offering a clear, unaltered view of the light passing through it. However, users should be aware that uncoated lenses may be more susceptible to surface reflections and could benefit from the addition of an anti-reflective coating.
This lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for applications that require precise control over light in the visible spectrum. The lack of a coating and its spherical shape make it a Double-Convex lens.
