L-PCX027 15 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=18mm Uncoated

The L-PCX027 is a 15 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens, with its base shape being circular, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, thanks to its versatile geometry and high-quality material construction.

The lens features a large diameter of 15 mm, ensuring a wide field of view and high light-gathering capability. The thickness at the edge of the lens is 1.9 mm, while the center thickness is 5.7 mm, providing a robust structure and maintaining a low profile for easy integration into various setups. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 18 mm, making it suitable for applications that require moderate magnification and a longer focal length.

The L-PCX027 is made from the high-grade N-BK7 Schott glass, a material well-known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmittance and low dispersion across the visible spectrum. This ensures superior image quality with high resolution and contrast.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional anti-reflective or protective coatings. While this may result in a slightly lower transmission efficiency compared to coated lenses, it also means that the lens is more cost-effective and easier to clean and maintain.

This lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within the green region of the visible spectrum. It is spherical in shape, ensuring excellent imaging performance and low aberration.
