HO-PXL12.5-08 12.5mm Dia. N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=100mm Uncoated
The HO-PXL12.5-08 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 12.5mm, sourced from Holmarc Opto-Mechatronics. This lens is designed for use in spherical optical systems and features a base shape of a circle. The lens has a thickness of 2mm at the edge, making it suitable for applications where a thin lens is required.
The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 100mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point when the lens is placed in a converging optical system. This EFL makes the lens ideal for use in systems where moderate magnification is required.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass that offers excellent transmission in the visible spectrum. The lens's geometry includes an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating that it is a simple Plano-Convex lens with one flat and one curved surface.
The wavelength of this lens is 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This wavelength is often used as a reference point in optical systems as it represents the center of the visible spectrum.
The lens does not come with any coating, which means it is uncoated. This may affect the lens's performance in certain applications, particularly those involving high-intensity light sources or where high contrast is required. However, uncoated lenses are often more cost-effective and can be suitable for many applications.
