L-MPX006 3 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=8mm Uncoated
The L-MPX006 is a 3 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, part of Ross Optical's extensive micro-optics catalog. This lens is designed with a spherical geometry, featuring a convex surface that refracts light towards a focal point. The lens's base shape is circular, contributing to its wide range of applications.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 8mm, making it suitable for applications requiring a longer focal length. The edge thickness of the lens is 1.7mm, while the center thickness is 2mm, providing structural integrity and resistance to deformation.
The L-MPX006 is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is particularly suitable for applications in the visible spectrum, with a wavelength of 587.6nm.
Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to enhance their optical properties, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission. However, the uncoated nature of the L-MPX006 allows for greater customization, as users can apply coatings based on their specific needs.
