In addition to our standard offerings, we take pride in our ability to provide customized solutions to meet our customers’ unique requirements. We understand that each application may have specific demands and parameters that need to be addressed. Therefore, our team is equipped to collaborate with you in order to tailor the plano-convex lenses precisely to your needs.

The index of refraction of our optical components typically ranges from approximately 1.4 to 4. The commonly used N-Bk7 substrate, suitable for visible light applications, has an index of refraction of 1.517. Conversely, Germanium exhibits an extreme index of refraction of 4.003. Inhomogeneity refers to the variation of the index of refraction within a glass. An inhomogeneity class of 0 signifies a maximum permissible variation of +/- 50 x 10-6, whereas an inhomogeneity class of 5 indicates a maximum permissible variation of +/- 50 x 10-6.

Plano-convex shape

Avantier specializes in the manufacturing of high-quality plano-convex lenses, which are optical lenses with a positive focal length. These lenses are versatile and can be tailored to suit your specific application by offering a wide range of sizes, substrates, and coatings.

Our lenses are highly versatile and find applications across various industries, including industrial, robotics, pharmaceutical, and defense sectors. When utilized in laser cutting, plano-convex lenses are most effective for high-power cutting applications and when dealing with thick materials. In such scenarios, the plano-convex lens provides a wider cut width, enabling the laser’s oxygen assist to enter the cut and enhance the cutting process. Additionally, these lenses offer a greater depth of field, resulting in a taperless edge.

Each part of the  compound microscope serves its own unique function, with each being important to the function of the scope as a whole. The individual parts of a compound microscope can vary heavily depending on the configuration & applications that the scope is being used for. Common compound microscope parts include:

By offering this level of customization, we strive to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality plano-convex lenses that not only meet but exceed their expectations, enabling them to achieve their desired outcomes with utmost precision and performance.

Plano-convex lenses are ideal for infinite conjugate systems and simple imaging tasks. They are well-suited for applications involving monochromatic illumination and light collimation. Collimated light refers to light whose rays are parallel and spread minimally as it propagate. This is crucial in applications where precision and minimal divergence are required. Due to their design, with one flat surface and one convex surface, the orientation of the lens is crucial. In most cases, the flat surface should be oriented towards the focal plane.
