L-BCX179 38.1 mm Dia. Double-Convex Lens; EFL=101.6mm Uncoated

The L-BCX179 is a high-quality double-convex lens, part of the extensive catalog offered by Ross Optical. This lens, with a diameter of 38.1 mm, is designed for use in a variety of optical applications, thanks to its robust construction and precise specifications.

The lens features a base shape of a circle, with a thickness at the edge of 2 mm and a center thickness of 5.5 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 101.6mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The radii of curvature for the first and second surfaces are 104.07 mm and -104.07 mm, respectively, indicating a symmetrically curved lens.

The L-BCX179 is made from n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This makes the lens suitable for use in a wide range of wavelengths, including the visible spectrum. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.

Please note that the lens is spherical in shape, which means it has a curved surface that is the same in all directions. This shape is common in optical lenses due to its ease of manufacture and the ability to focus light to a point.
