The 88-673 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens with a single curved surface and a flat surface. This lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, has a diameter of 12.0mm and a focal length of 18.0mm, making it suitable for a variety of optical applications.
The lens is made from n-sf5 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties and chemical resistance. The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 1.41mm and a thickness center of 3.0mm, contributing to its overall optical performance.
The 88-673 features VIS-EXT coatings on both the front and back surfaces. These coatings, designed for the visible spectrum (350-700nm), enhance the lens's transmission capabilities and reduce surface reflections, further improving its performance in various optical systems.
The lens's shape is spherical, a common and versatile shape in optical systems due to its ease of manufacturing and predictable optical properties. The inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens's surface.
