Shanghai Optics manufactures high quality plano-convex lens; optical lenses with a positive focal length. These all-purpose lenses are available in a wide variety of sizes, substrates, and coatings, ...

We compare and contrast concave and convex lenses by drawing ray diagrams. In this Closer Look segment on Lenses, we compare and contrast concave and convex lenses by drawing ray diagrams and ...

Light travels at different speeds based on the medium it passes through. For example, in a vacuum, it travels at 3.0 × 10^8 m/s in a straight line. But when directed towards glass, air, diamond, water ...

Every photographer knows how important a quality lens is to a shot. With our current technology of curved lenses, however, problems like chromatic aberration can occur no matter how elegant a design.

When light moves from air into glass or plastic it is refracted close refractionProcess by which a wave changes speed and sometimes direction upon entering a denser or less dense medium, eg a light ...
