L-PCX096 12.5 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=24mm Uncoated
The L-PCX096 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 12.5 mm, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in optical systems that require a convex lens with a flat surface on one side.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its thickness, which measures 1.5 mm at the edge and 3.2 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 24 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a moderate level of magnification or minification.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. The Abbe number, a measure of dispersion, is 64.2 for this material, indicating low chromatic aberration.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, a standard reference wavelength in optical design. It is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This may result in higher reflective losses and a greater susceptibility to environmental factors such as dust and moisture.
