L-PCX182 17 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=34mm Uncoated
The L-PCX182 is a 17 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is a Spherical Lens, specifically designed with a Base Shape of Circular geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens features a Center Thickness of 4.2 mm and an Edge Thickness of 2 mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact form factor. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) of this lens is 34 mm, making it a medium focal length lens, ideal for many optical systems.
The lens is made from the high-quality material N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including low dispersion and high transmission in the visible spectrum. The lens is designed to work optimally at the wavelength of 587.6 nm.
Notably, this lens does not come with any coating, as indicated in the item data. Coatings are often applied to lenses to enhance their performance by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or providing other desirable optical properties. However, the uncoated nature of this lens could be advantageous in certain applications where specific coating properties are not required.
