This is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 63-585 model, boasts a diameter of 20mm and a focal length of 60mm, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from Schott's n-BK7 glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion. This makes the lens particularly suitable for applications that require high image quality and color correction, such as imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The lens features a standard MgF2 coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission across the visible spectrum (400-700nm), enhancing the lens's performance in high-light applications. The coating also provides excellent environmental stability, resisting scratching and wear, ensuring the lens maintains its high performance over time.
The lens's geometry is another notable feature. It has an edge thickness of 2.36mm and a center thickness of 4mm, providing robustness and durability. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature throughout. The lens's base shape is circular, making it compatible with various optical systems and setups.
