PLANO CONVEX LENSES PCX
Description
Plano-Convex lenses (PCX) have a first convex surface (positive) and a second flat surface that give them a positive focal length. They are suitable for the conjugation of objects place at infinite distances when used with the convex surface turned toward the object and the plane surface turned to the image. They are also used to focus light through the formation of real images, or the formation of virtual images if they are used as magnifying lenses. The focal length of a PCX lens is a function of the material used, the radius of curvature and the wavelength of light radiation used as reference. For applications in the visible (VIS) optics usually refers to the sodium d line, equivalent to 589.3 nm. For special applications, instead, we usually refer to the mean wavelength of the spectral region of interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Plano-Convex lens (PCX) has a first convex surface (positive) and a second flat surface that give them a positive focal length.
PCX lenses are suitable for the conjugation of objects placed at infinite distances when used with the convex surface turned toward the object and the plane surface turned to the image. They are also used to focus light through the formation of real images, or the formation of virtual images if they are used as magnifying lenses.
The focal length of a PCX lens is a function of the material used, the radius of curvature, and the wavelength of light radiation used as reference.
PCX lenses are used in laser optics, metrology, spectrometry, OEM, and industrial applications.
Tecnottica Consonni produces its lenses in different types of optical glasses, making available antireflection coating for the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near infrared (NIR and SWIR) and other bands chosen by the customer.
