This Standa 14PCX900-1-1 Plano-Convex Lens is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, designed for use in various optical applications. The lens has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness at the edge of 2.8 mm, while the center thickness is slightly greater at 3 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 900 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is widely used in various optical instruments and systems. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can still provide good image quality, especially in applications where high light transmission is not critical.
The lens's geometry is defined by its inner and outer radii, both of which are 0 in this case, indicating a plano-convex lens. The curvature of the convex surface is specified as 465.03 mm. This lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 546 nm, which is a common reference wavelength in optical systems.
