The L-BCX054 is a 100 mm diameter double-convex lens with an effective focal length (EFL) of 1000mm, making it suitable for applications requiring high magnification and narrow fields of view. This lens is sourced from Ross Optical, a reputable vendor known for their quality optical components.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle. It features two convex surfaces, both with a radius of curvature of approximately 1032.34mm. The lens has a thickness of 5mm at the edge and 7.4mm at the center, providing structural rigidity and resistance to deformation.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This particular lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it also means the lens is more cost-effective and simpler to manufacture.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, which falls within the visible spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications such as microscopy, telescopy, and other systems where high-quality imaging is required.
