The L-BCX249 is a high-quality double-convex lens, boasting a 60 mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 175mm. This lens is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Ross Optical, and is available for purchase through their online catalog.
The lens is designed with a spherical shape, featuring two convex surfaces. The first surface, denoted as 'r1', has a radius of 179.64, while the second surface, 'r2', has a radius of -179.64. This specific curvature allows for a high degree of light refraction and focusing, making it ideal for a variety of optical applications.
The lens is constructed from the high-grade material, n-bk7 schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion, which results in clear, high-resolution images.
The L-BCX249 has a center thickness of 7.2 and an edge thickness of 2.2. This robust construction ensures the lens can withstand rigorous use, while also minimizing distortion and maintaining optical precision.
Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing glare and increasing light transmission, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where a natural, unaltered light transmission is required.
For those interested in the lens's geometric properties, the inner radius is 0, and the outer radius is also 0. This indicates that the lens has a uniform curvature across its entire surface.
