Lenses

Universal optical element of most optical systems. The traditional use of lenses is binoculars, telescopes, optical sights, theodolites, microscopes, photo and video equipment.

Lens is an optical part of a transparent homogeneous material, having two refractive polished surfaces. The optical characteristics of the lens are determined by the curvature of its surfaces and the material from which it is made.

As the material for lens manufacturing we use mineral optical glass of various types, salt crystals (KCl).

Shapes:

convexo-convex
plano-convex
convex-concave (positive and negative meniscus)
double-concave
plano-concave
aspherical
