Preferred Dimension Cylinders

Through CNC manufacturing and innovative tooling, Kreischer Optics can produce any plano-convex cylindrical lens within the ranges listed here. Catalog lenses are inherently limited in selection. With our system, you specify exactly the focal length and axial length of the lens you need from a wide selection of standard widths and materials. These are preferred dimensions, but we are not limited by them. For example, the width of a lens can be cut down even asymmetrically if necessary or can be edged to a round shape.

Quickly receive the exact plano-convex cylindrical lenses you need . . . often for less than the cost of catalog parts, with our preferred dimension cylinders.

Turn-around time in as little as 1 week!
