Cylindrical Lenses

Cylindrical lenses provide one-dimensional magnification and can effectively reduce spherical and chromatic aberration. They change the size of the imaging dimension, converting a beam spot into a line or changing the image height without changing its width, and are designed to meet the demanding requirements of laser electro-optics applications. Mainly used in biochemical, medical, image-recognition and laser systems. Material: K9, fused silica.
