The L-BCX172 is a high-quality double-convex lens offered by Ross Optical, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. This lens, with a diameter of 38.1 mm, is designed for use in a variety of optical applications, thanks to its precise geometry and material composition.
The lens features a large effective focal length (EFL) of 50.2 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The double-convex shape, characterized by two convex surfaces, is designed to minimize spherical aberration and distortion, ensuring optimal image quality.
The L-BCX172 is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-grade optical glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material ensures high transmittance across a wide spectrum, making the lens suitable for use with various wavelengths.
The lens has a center thickness of 10.53 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm, providing robustness and durability. Despite its robust construction, the lens maintains a lightweight design, making it easy to integrate into various optical systems.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective coatings. While this may result in a higher reflectance at the air-glass interfaces, it also means the lens is less susceptible to damage from environmental factors, making it ideal for rugged applications.
