L-MPX016 4.5 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=9mm Uncoated

The L-MPX016 is a 4.5 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in micro-optics applications, offering a high level of performance and precision.

The lens features a base shape of Circular, with a geometry that includes a 1.8 mm thickness at the edge and a 2.38 mm thickness at the center. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) of this lens is 9mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens's front radius (R1) is 4.6512, and the back focal length (BFL) is 7.43.

The L-MPX016 is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is ideal for applications that require high image quality and color correction. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can still provide excellent performance in many applications, especially where cost and simplicity are important factors.

This lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. It has a spherical shape, which is the most common and versatile lens shape, offering a wide field of view and minimal distortion.
