A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis. Lenses are made from materials such as glass or plastic, and are ground and polished or moulded to a desired shape. A lens can focus light to form an image, unlike a prism, which refracts light without focusing. Devices that similarly focus or disperse waves and radiation other than visible light are also called lenses, such as microwave lenses, electron lenses, acoustic lenses, or explosive lenses.Most lenses are spherical lenses: their two surfaces are parts of the surfaces of spheres. Each surface can be convex (bulging outwards from the lens), concave (depressed into the lens), or planar (flat). The line joining the centres of the spheres making up the lens surfaces is called the axis of the lens. Typically the lens axis passes through the physical centre of the lens, because of the way they are manufactured. Lenses may be cut or ground after manufacturing to give them a different shape or size. The lens axis may then not pass through the physical centre of the lens.Plano-convex lenses are useful for a wide range of applications. These lenses are manufactured from BK7A for visible, and Near IR applications. All lenses are uncoated but Anti-reflection coatings are available. When used to focus a collimated beam, the light should be incident on the curved surface of the lens. These plano-convex lenses may be combined with other lenses to form complex imaging systems. Plano convex lenses are used in many applications including telescopes, collimators, magnifiers, optical transceivers and condensers. Specifications: MaterialBK7, Fused Silica, SF10, CaF2, Sapphire .etc. Dimension Tolerance+0/-0.1(General)+0/-0.02(High Precision)Thickness Tolerance±0.1mmDesign Wavelength546.1nmSurface Quality60/40(General)10/5(High Precision)Flatnessλ/4@633nm(General)            λ/10@633nm(High Precision)Centration90%ChamferProtective
