The ACL12708U is a high-quality ⅜” (12.7 mm) Aspheric Condenser Lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This lens boasts an f=8 mm focal length and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.78, making it ideal for a wide range of applications that require superior light gathering and focusing capabilities.

The lens is made from b270 Schott glass, a popular choice for its excellent optical properties and durability. The aspheric design of the lens helps to reduce spherical aberration, providing a clearer, sharper image compared to traditional spherical lenses. The lens has a diameter of 12.7 mm and a thickness of 1.6 mm at the edge, with a center thickness of 7.5 mm.
