L-PCX158 18 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=350mm Uncoated

The L-PCX158 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 18 mm, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in spherical geometry and features a base shape of a circle. The lens's thickness at the edge is 1.5 mm, while the center thickness measures 1.7 mm, providing a robust structure for various applications.

The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 350 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The radius of curvature (R1) is 180.88 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 350.05 mm, contributing to its overall optical performance.

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

Notably, this lens does not come with any coating, which means it is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the lens's performance by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, an uncoated lens can be suitable for certain applications where such enhancements are not required.
