This item is a 20mm diameter x 50mm focal length (FL) double-convex lens, designed for use with visible light. It is sourced from the reputable optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens is coated with a VIS 0° coating on both the front and back surfaces, which is standard for this type of lens.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of circular. The geometry of the lens includes a diameter of 20mm, a thickness at the edge of 1.52mm, and a thickness at the center of 3.5mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm, and the radii of curvature for the first and second surfaces are 51.08mm and -51.08mm, respectively. The back focal length (BFL) is 48.84mm.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott material, a common choice for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The VIS 0° coating on the lens surfaces is designed to enhance transmission in the visible spectrum, reducing reflection and improving overall light transmission.
This lens is suitable for a wide range of applications that require high-quality imaging or light transmission in the visible light spectrum. Its double-convex design provides a wide field of view and low distortion, making it ideal for use in microscopy, beam shaping, or other applications where high-quality imaging is required.
