63-572 10mm Dia. x 40mm FL; MgF2 Coated; Double-Convex Lens MgF2 400-700nm
This is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 63-572 model, boasts a 10mm diameter and a focal length of 40mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from Schott's n-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens's geometry is characterized by its double-convex shape, with a central thickness of 2.5mm and an edge thickness of 1.89mm. This shape, combined with the lens's 40.91mm and -40.91mm radii of curvature, results in an effective focal length of 40mm and a back focal length of 39.16mm.
The lens's surfaces are coated with MgF2, a material known for its superior anti-reflective properties. This coating, applied to both the front and back surfaces, enhances the lens's performance in the 400-700nm wavelength range, reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission.
