88-646 6.0mm Dia. x 36.0mm FL; VIS-EXT Coated Plano-Convex Lens VIS-EXT 350-700nm

The 88-646 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens has a base shape of a circle and a diameter of 6mm, making it compact and versatile for various applications. The lens's thickness at the edge is 1.36mm, while its center thickness is 1.6mm, providing a balanced structure for efficient light transmission.

The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 36mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the principal point of the light's focus. This EFL, combined with the lens's diameter, provides a wide field of view and excellent light gathering capabilities. The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with edm vis ext, a coating that enhances its performance within the visible light spectrum, specifically between 350-700nm.

The lens's inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a simple, straightforward design that is easy to integrate into optical systems. The lens is made from n-bk7 schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmittance and low auto-fluorescence. This material makes the lens suitable for use in high-precision applications where clarity and accuracy are paramount.
