88-596 75 mm Dia. N-BK7/N-SF5 Achromatic Doublet; EFL=200mm VIS-NIR 400-1000nm
The 88-596 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens is specifically engineered for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, with a wavelength range of 400-1000nm. The lens boasts a 75mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 200mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is constructed from two types of glass: N-BK7 and N-SF5, both from Schott. These materials are chosen for their excellent optical properties, particularly their low dispersion, which helps to minimize chromatic aberration. The lens is a doublet, meaning it consists of two separate elements, which are cemented together to form a single, high-performance lens.
The 88-596 features a sophisticated geometry, with a central thickness of 17.94mm and edge thickness of 15.42mm. The lens also has a 6mm central thickness on the 'a' side, and it has a clear aperture, with no inner or outer radius specified.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' proprietary VIS-NIR coating (edm visnir0sp2002000), which is applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum, reducing reflection and improving transmission.
