Gurley Precision Instruments Datasheets for Spherical Lenses

Spherical lenses, also known as singlets, are transparent optical components consisting of one or more pieces of optical glass with surfaces so curved that they serve to converge or diverge the transmitted rays from an object, thus forming a real or virtual image of that object.  This area includes micro spherical lenses as well.

Product Name Notes
1:1 Imaging and Multi-Element Applications, Broadband coatings are recommended for aspherical lenses
Aspheres minimize spherical aberrations, Broadband coatings are recommended for aspherical lenses
Made of two lenses cemented together to create a doublet, Single Layer MgF2 coatings are recommended for these lenses
Used to change the focal length of another lens, The lens shape does not intriduce more spherical aberrations to the system
