This is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 63-569 model, boasts a 10mm diameter and a 20mm focal length, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from the high-quality material, n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties and durability. This material ensures high transmission and low dispersion, making it ideal for applications that require high image quality and precision.
The lens features a double-convex geometry, with radii of curvature of 20.24mm for the first surface and -20.24mm for the second surface. This geometry provides a large numerical aperture, enhancing the lens's light-gathering capability and improving its performance in low-light conditions.
The lens is coated with MgF2, a broadband anti-reflective coating that enhances its optical performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission. This coating is standard across both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance across the entire 400-700nm spectral range.
The lens has a center thickness of 2.5mm and an edge thickness of 1.25mm, providing a robust and stable platform for optical systems. The lens's base shape is circular, allowing for versatile integration into various optical setups.
