Spherical lenses

Spherical lenses are the most common manufactured lenses in our facilities in Poland. We can offer all types of spherical lenses:

Convex lesnes:

– Plano-convex lenses
– Biconvex lenses

Concave lenses:

– Plano-concave lenses
– Biconcave lenses

Meniscus lenses

As single lenses – spherical lenses give limited possibilities of optimization. As result they do not offer much flexibility in terms of correcting aberrations, so the images given by them are not perfect. However spherical aberrations can be minimized by optimizing ratio of curvatures’ radii.

Plano-convex lenses

Plano-convex lenses (PCX lenses) are the most basic optical element used for focusing and collimation.

Plano-concave lenses

Plano-concave lenses (PCC lenses) are the most basic optical element used for beam expansion and light projection.

Biconcave lenses

Biconcave lenses (BCC lenses) are used for beam expansion and light projection while offering shorter focal lengths than plano-concave lenses. Biconcave lenses can be used independently as viewers and optical character readers.

Biconvex lenses

Biconvex lenses (BCX lenses) are used for focusing and collimation while offering shorter focal lengths than plano-convex lenses. Biconvex lenses can be used independently as magnifiers and objectives.

Meniscus lenses

Meniscus lenses (CX-CC lenses or concave-convex lenses) can be found most often in complex optical systems, where their function is to minimize aberrations and/or change the focal length of the system. Lenses of this shape are also a typical solution for corrective lenses worn in front of the eye and used to improve vision.
