The L-BCX188 is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens, with a base shape of a circle, is designed for use in a wide range of optical applications, thanks to its precise geometry and material composition.
The lens has a diameter of 38.1 mm, making it suitable for use in systems with similar or larger apertures. The edge thickness is 3 mm, while the center thickness is slightly more at 3.35 mm, indicating a robust design that can withstand handling and use in various environments.
The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 1000 mm, a feature that contributes to its versatility. This length makes it ideal for use in systems that require significant magnification or focus at a distance.
The L-BCX188 is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-grade optical material known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is often used in high-precision optical systems due to its superior optical properties.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not detract from its performance in many applications. Uncoated lenses can be advantageous in certain situations, such as when minimal reflection is required.
