L-PCX426 12.7 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=50.2mm Uncoated

The L-PCX426 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. This lens is sourced from Ross Optical, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical elements. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to protect or enhance its optical properties.

The lens has a focal length (EFL) of 50.2 mm, which is the distance between the lens and the point where it focuses light. This is a crucial parameter in lens selection as it directly impacts the magnification and field of view of the optical system. The lens has a base shape of Circular, which is a common choice for many applications due to its symmetry and ease of integration into optical systems.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 3.78 mm at the center. The inner radius is 0 mm, and the outer radius is also 0 mm, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 25.94336 mm. The back focal length (BFL) of the lens is 47.7 mm.

The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. It is designed to work with light of wavelength 587.6 nm. The lens has a spherical shape, which is the most common and simplest type of lens surface.
