14BCX500-1.5-1 38.1 mm Dia. x 500mm FL; Uncoated; Double-Convex Lens

The 14BCX500-1.5-1 is a double-convex lens offered by Standa, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. This lens, with its spherical shape, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems. The lens features a base shape of a circle, adding to its versatility in various applications.

The lens has a diameter of 38.1 mm, providing a substantial surface area for light transmission. The edge thickness is 4.2 mm, while the center thickness is 5 mm, indicating a gradual increase in thickness towards the center. This design helps to minimize optical aberrations and distortions.

The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 500 mm, a characteristic that significantly influences the lens's magnification and field of view. The first radius of curvature (r1) is 517.84 mm, and the second radius of curvature (r2) is -517.84 mm, suggesting a symmetrical design that can help to maintain image quality.

The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. The wavelength for this lens is 546 nm, a standard yellow-green light often used in optical testing and measurements.

Notably, this lens does not have any coating, which means it is uncoated. While coatings can enhance a lens's performance by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, and protecting the lens surface, an uncoated lens can be suitable for applications where such enhancements are not required or desirable.
