L-PCX056 7.1 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=8mm Uncoated

The L-PCX056 is a 7.1 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens with a focal length of 8mm, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is designed with a spherical geometry, featuring a convex surface that refracts light towards a central focal point. The lens's base shape is circular, contributing to its wide range of applications.

The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.4mm at the edge and 3.3mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a sleek profile. The inner radius is 0mm, and the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature throughout the lens. The back focal length (BFL) is 6.01mm, a critical specification for focusing light accurately.

The L-PCX056 is made from the high-quality material n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmission in the visible spectrum and low auto-fluorescence. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to enhance their optical performance by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or providing other desirable properties. However, the L-PCX056's uncoated status means it does not have these additional treatments, which may be suitable for certain applications where specific coating properties are not required.
