G052106000 8 mm Dia. N-BK7 Mounted Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=8mm Uncoated

This is the G052106000 8 mm Dia. N-BK7 Mounted Plano-Convex Lens, a high-quality optical component sourced from Qioptiq Photonics. This lens, with a clear aperture of 8 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, offering excellent performance and reliability.

The lens is made from N-BK7, a popular borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. It is a Spherical Lens, specifically a Plano-Convex lens, which means it has one flat surface and one curved surface. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 4.134 mm, which contributes to its specific optical characteristics.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 8 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point when the lens is focused at infinity. This EFL makes it suitable for use in systems where a moderate level of magnification or reduction is required.

The lens's thickness at the edge is 0.91 mm, while its center thickness is 4 mm. This thickness distribution contributes to the lens's overall optical performance and mechanical stability.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of some lenses by reducing reflections or increasing transmission, this lens is designed to function optimally without them.

The lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase. For more information, please refer to the vendor's website at https://www.qioptiq-shop.com/en/Precision-Optics/Singlets/Plano-Convex-Lenses/Plano-convex-lenses-mounted.html.
