Product Details

TECHSPEC® N-BK7 Half-Ball Lenses are ideal for applications such as fiber communication, endoscopy, microscopy, optical pick-up devices, and laser measurement systems. Half-ball (hemispherical) lenses can be interchanged with full ball lenses if the physical constraints of an application require a more compact design. These collimating lenses are uncoated, with a wavelength range of 350-2200nm. TECHSPEC® N-BK7 Half-Ball Lenses are offered in diameters ranging from 0.50 to 10.00nm.
