Optical Lenses | EKSMA Optics-1

Optical Components ● Positive focal length ● Converge incident light ● Form both real and virtual images ● Very close to the form minimising spherical aberration for infinite conjugate applications These simplest form lenses have flat surface on one side and spherical surface on the other. They are widely used in telescopes, microscopes, collimators, optical transceivers, magnifiers, condenser systems and eyepieces. Upon customer’s request, lenses may be anti-reflection coated. For a required coating, please refer to the Coatings section. Surface quality Clear aperture Diameter tolerance Thickness tolerance Standard lenses have a range of focal lengths – from 25 mm to 10000 mm, and diameters – from 12.5 mm to 50.8 mm.
