L-PCX187 25.4 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=75.6mm Uncoated

The L-PCX187 is a 25.4 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens, with its base shape being circular, is designed for use in a wide range of optical applications.

The lens's geometry is characterized by a thickness edge of 3 mm and a thickness center of 5.12 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring precise focus and alignment. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 75.6 mm, which is a critical parameter in determining the lens's magnification and field of view.

The L-PCX187 is made from the high-quality material N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low dispersion. This material makes the lens suitable for use in applications where high image quality and low distortion are required.

The lens is designed for use at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications such as imaging, illumination, and beam shaping.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance a lens's performance by reducing reflections and increasing transmission, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where cost, simplicity, or specific optical properties are a priority.
