Product Overview
Our Endoscope Rod Lenses are high-precision cylindrical optical components designed for specialized applications in beam shaping and medical imaging. These lenses feature a highly polished circumferential surface and precisely ground ends, making them ideal for transforming collimated light into a focused line and for critical use in rigid endoscopes.
Key Features
- Dual Functionality: Functions as a standard cylindrical lens for beam shaping or as a circular lens with ends polished.
- Beam Shaping Capability: Efficiently focuses collimated light into a thin, precise line.
- Medical Grade Precision: Essential surface curvature and precision cutting for endoscopy.
- Self-Aligning Design: Naturally aligns within tube diameters, simplifying assembly.
- Structural Support: Cylindrical shape provides integrity to endoscope assemblies.
- Superior Surface Quality: Minimal light scattering for optimal performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can be used for these rod lenses?
We offer a variety of high-quality substrates including Optical Glass (BK7/K9), JGS1 Fused Quartz, Sapphire, Infrared materials, Silicon (Si), Zinc Selenide (ZnSe), and Calcium Fluoride (CaF2).
What are the main applications of endoscope rod lenses?
They are primarily used in medical rigid endoscopes, industrial borescopes, laser beam shaping, line generation systems, and high-precision optical instrumentation.
Can the dimensions of the rod lens be customized?
Yes, we provide full customization services. We can manufacture diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 300mm and adjust the length and coating according to your specific requirements.
What level of surface quality can I expect?
Our standard surface quality is 40/20, which is suitable for most high-precision medical and industrial applications. Higher specifications can be negotiated.
Do you offer specialized coatings for the lenses?
Absolutely. We can apply various optical coatings (AR, BBAR, etc.) designed for wavelengths from 400nm to 1100nm or other custom requirements.
What is the typical lead time for small orders?
For small quantities between 1 to 10 pieces, the standard lead time is approximately 7 days. For larger bulk orders, the schedule is negotiable based on production capacity.
