L-PCX321 50.8 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=1000mm Uncoated
The L-PCX321 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Ross Optical. This lens has a base shape of a circle and a diameter of 50.8 mm. The lens's thickness at the edge is 3 mm, while its center thickness is slightly more at 3.62 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 1000mm, making it suitable for applications requiring long-range focus.
The lens's first radius of curvature (R1) is 516.8 mm, and its back focal length (BFL) is 996.58 mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature. The lens material is n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low auto-fluorescence.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, typically used in visible light applications. The lens's shape is spherical, a common choice for its ease of manufacturing and versatility. The lens does not come with any coating, which may affect its performance in certain applications. However, it can be customized with various coatings upon request.
