L-PCX539 25 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=60mm Uncoated
The L-PCX539 is a 25 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in optical systems that require a convex lens with a flat plane on one side. The lens's primary features include an effective focal length (EFL) of 60mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens's geometry is defined by its diameter, thickness, and radii. The diameter measures 25 mm, while the edge thickness is 2.1 mm and the center thickness is 4.7 mm. The lens's curvature is defined by a radius (R1) of 31.008 mm on the convex side. The back focal length (BFL) is 56.91 mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature.
The L-PCX539 lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6 nm. The lens's shape is spherical, a common choice for its ease of manufacturing and good image quality.
Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to reduce reflection, increase transmission, or provide other desirable optical properties. However, this lens is designed to be used without a coating, which may be suitable for certain applications.
