What Is a Cylindrical Lens?

A cylindrical lens focuses light into a straight line. Its surface is shaped from a cylinder, compressing images perpendicular to the axis and maintaining clarity parallel to it. These lenses are critical for correcting astigmatism, as well as precision tasks in spectroscopy, laser scanning, image projection, and advanced imaging systems.

Low Cost Plano Convex CY Lens

A cylindrical lens normally is rather expensive than a spherical lens. That limits its applications. Z-Optics applies the technology of half-ball lenses to manufacture plano-convex cylindrical lenses. Cost is greatly reduced. If you have a problem with the cost of a plano-convex cylindrical lens, try our quotation, please.
