L-MPX021 5 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=5mm Uncoated
The L-MPX021 is a 5 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Ross Optical. This lens, with its Spherical shape, is designed for general-purpose use and is a part of Ross Optical's extensive micro-optics catalog.
The lens features a Base Shape of Circular, with a Center Thickness of 4 mm and an Edge Thickness of 2.1 mm. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) is 5 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number.
The Plano-Convex geometry of the lens, with a Radius of Curvature (R1) of 2.584 mm, provides a Back Focal Length (BFL) of 2.38 mm. The lens is uncoated, offering a clear, unaltered view of the light path. However, this also means that the lens may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. The Inner and Outer Radius are both 0, indicating a flat surface on the Plano side of the lens.
