Plano-convex lens features one flat face and one convex face, possessing a positive focal length. It is employed for gathering and focusing collimated light, collimating light from a point source, or decreasing the focal length of a lens assembly.
Plano-convex lenses, renowned for their capacity to converge light, find extensive applications in optics for focusing and collimating light within optical setups. These lenses serve as integral components in camera lenses, playing a vital role in light convergence essential for image creation. Their capability to reduce spherical aberration enhances image clarity, yielding sharper and clearer visuals.
