L-PCX388 100 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=1000mm Uncoated

The L-PCX388 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 100 mm, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for applications that require a long effective focal length (EFL) of 1000mm, making it an ideal choice for high precision imaging systems, telescopes, and other optical instruments.

The lens geometry is characterized by its spherical shape, with a base shape of a circle. The edge thickness of the lens is 5 mm, while the center thickness is 7.4 mm, providing a robust structure suitable for various applications. The inner radius of the lens is 0 mm, and the outer radius is also 0 mm, indicating a uniform curvature throughout.

The L-PCX388 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 is particularly suitable for applications that require high-resolution imaging and minimal chromatic aberration.

The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications that involve visible light, such as photography, machine vision, and other imaging systems.

Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While this may limit its performance in certain applications, it can be advantageous in others, such as where cost-effectiveness and simplicity are prioritized.
