HG Optronics, Inc. Double-Convex Lenses

Double Convex Lenses are used in image relay applications, or for imaging objects at close conjugates. Double Convex Lenses have positive focal lengths, along with two convex surfaces with equal radii. Aberrations will increase as the conjugate ratios increase. Double-Convex Lenses are used in a range of industries or applications. HG OPTRONICS offers Double Convex lenses with a variety of coating options. 3.1. What is the double convex lens? A lens is called a convex lens if it is thicker at the center than at the edges. ... Double convex lenses have focal points on both sides of the lens; these and the points at twice the focal length are used to locate objects and images. 3.2. What does a double convex lens do? The fact that a double convex lens is thicker across its middle is an indicator that it will converge rays of light that travel parallel to its principal axis. A double convex lens is a converging lens.
