AL2550M-A 25 mm Dia. N-BK7 High-Precision; CNC Polished Aspheric Lenses; EFL=50 mm; NA=0.23 AR 350-700nm
The AL2550M-A is a high-precision asperic lens offered by Thorlabs, a leading global manufacturer of photonics equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 25 mm, is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold.
The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 50 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require moderate magnification. The asphere design, combined with CNC polishing, ensures high-quality imaging with minimal spherical aberration.
The lens has a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.23, which is a measure of the lens' light-gathering ability. A higher NA allows for greater resolution and light collection, making this lens ideal for applications that require high-resolution imaging or where light throughput is a concern.
The lens is coated with an anti-reflective (AR) coating, specifically designed for the 350-700nm wavelength range. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving transmission and enhancing the overall performance of the lens.
