Cylindrical Lens

Cylindrical lenses are used to correct astigmatism in the eye and in rangefinders, to produce astigmatism,

tretching a point of light into a line, they are widely used in bar code scanning, projection optics systems,

laser measurement systems and holography.

Cylindrical lenses are available in either plano-concave or plano-convex configurations from FOCtek,

Plano-concave lenses have a negative focal length and are used for image reduction or to spread light

Plano-convex lenses have a positive focal length, which makes them ideal for collecting and focusing light

for many imaging applications.
