The ACL1210U-A is a high-quality aspheric condenser lens offered by Thorlabs. This lens is designed for use in a variety of applications, particularly where high numerical aperture and excellent image quality are required.
The lens features a focal length of 10.5 mm, providing a compact and efficient optical solution. The aspheric design helps to reduce spherical aberration, enhancing the image quality and ensuring a wider field of view. The lens has a diameter of 12 mm, making it suitable for use with a wide range of optical systems.
The ACL1210U-A is made from B270 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflective coating, which covers the spectrum from 350 to 700 nm. This coating helps to reduce surface reflections, improving the transmission of light and enhancing the overall performance of the lens.
The lens has a thickness of 1.9 mm at the edge and 5.8 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a flat surface on both sides of the lens. The lens has a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.54, which is quite high for a lens of this size, further emphasizing its suitability for high-resolution imaging applications.
