The Cylindrical Lens is a specialised optical component designed for demonstrating light behaviour in physics classrooms and laboratory environments. Unlike standard lenses, it focuses light into a straight line rather than a single point, making it ideal for visualising key optical principles.

This high quality precision finished lens is suitable for a wide range of light and optics experiments. Each lens is individually pouched and supplied in a neat presentation case, making it easy to store, handle, and protect between uses.

Available in biconvex, biconcave, or planoconvex forms, this lens provides flexibility for different experimental setups. All variants measure 50 mm x 45 mm with a focal length of 75 mm, ensuring consistent and reliable results during demonstrations.

Key Features

Focuses light into a line instead of a point

High quality precision finished optical surface

Available in biconvex, biconcave, and planoconvex options

Supplied individually pouched in a presentation case

Ideal for optics, refraction, and light experiments

Suitable for classroom and laboratory use

How It Works

A cylindrical lens has curvature along only one axis, which means it bends light in a single direction.

As light passes through the lens, it converges or diverges into a line rather than a focal point. This makes it easier to observe and compare how light behaves differently from standard spherical lenses.

Designed for Classroom and Lab Use

This lens is ideal for use in educational environments where practical demonstrations are essential. It can be used on ray tables, optical benches, or as part of a full optics setup.

Its simple design makes it suitable for both introductory and advanced experiments. It helps learners explore concepts such as refraction, focal length, and light direction in a clear and visual way.
