BK7 Glass Plano Convex Lens

What is a plano convex lens?
Plano-convex lenses are positive focal length elements that have one spherical surface and one flat surface. These lenses are designed for infinite conjugate (parallel light) use or simple imaging in non-critical applications. These optic lenses are ideal for all-purpose focusing elements. PCX Lenses have one convex surface. For maximum efficiency, the second, plano (flat) surface should face the desired focal plane.

How convex lens work?

Plano-convex lenses are used for applying focus to an optical system, and collimating diverging light beams. … Low spherical aberration is obtained if the lens is orientated in a way that causes the collimated beam to enter or exit the curved surface, thereby making the plano side face towards the point source or focus.

● What is the magnification formula for lenses?
Magnification formula for lenses. Let’s explore the magnification formula (M= v/u) for lenses and see how to find the image height and its nature (whether it’s real or virtual). Created by Mahesh Shenoy.

● What is application?
Plano-Convex lenses are commonly used in a wide range of applications or industries. Plano-Convex Lenses are ideal for light collimation or for focusing applications utilizing monochromatic illumination, in a range of industries including industrial, pharmaceutical, robotics, or defense.
