CONVEX AND CONCAVE MENISCUS LENSES MCX - MCC
Description
Meniscus lenses are divided into positive and negative: both are distinguished from other lenses since, by definition, have a convex surface and a concave surface. These lenses are often used to shorten or lengthen the focal length of an optical system that already exists. In addition, meniscus lenses can be properly designed so that they does not introduce any further aberrations - like spherical and coma - in the existing optical system in which they are inserted. In the latter case they are called aplanatic lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Meniscus lenses are lenses that have a convex surface and a concave surface, and are often used to shorten or lengthen the focal length of an optical system that already exists.
Meniscus lenses are divided into positive and negative lenses, depending on whether the convex surface or the concave surface is facing the incident light.
Aplanatic lenses are meniscus lenses that are properly designed so that they do not introduce any further aberrations, such as spherical and coma, in the existing optical system in which they are inserted.
Meniscus lenses are commonly used in laser optics, metrology, spectrometry, OEM, and industrial applications.
Meniscus lenses can be made of different optical glasses and can be optimized for ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near infrared (NIR and SWIR), and other wavelengths or bandwidths chosen by the customer.
