The 88-738-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 25.4mm, is designed for use within the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6nm. The lens features a front and back coating of EDM VIS EXT, which is a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for high performance in the visible spectrum.
The lens has a base shape of a circle and a thickness at the edge of 2.43mm, while the center thickness measures 7mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 25.4mm, and the front radius (R1) is 19.93mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 21.48mm, and the lens does not have an inner or outer radius.
This lens is made from N-SF11 Schott, a high-index glass that offers excellent transmission in the visible and near-infrared regions. The lens is inked, which is a process where a dye is applied to the edge of the lens to indicate its orientation. This is particularly useful when dealing with a large number of lenses or when the lens is used in an assembly where the orientation needs to be clear.
The lens is in stock and available for immediate purchase from the Edmund Optics website.
