Lenses Cylindrical Glass
Product Code : JA-LOE-7894
The Lenses Cylindrical Glass (SKU JA-LOE-7894) are single cylindrical lenses, 50 x 45 mm with a 75 mm focal length, offered in biconcave, biconvex and plano convex forms for light and optics experiments. Unlike a spherical lens, a cylindrical lens curves in one direction only, so it focuses a beam to a line rather than a point, which students can see clearly with a ray box. Each cylindrical glass lens is precision finished, individually pouched and supplied in a presentation case by JaincoLab, which manufactures it in India.
Specifications
Each item is a single precision-finished cylindrical glass lens measuring 50 x 45 mm with a 75 mm focal length, in biconcave, biconvex or plano convex form, individually pouched in a presentation case.

Applications of the 75 mm cylindrical glass lens
Cylindrical lenses are used in ray optics to show refraction in one plane at a time: with a ray box and slit plate, a biconvex or plano convex cylindrical lens brings parallel rays to a line focus and a biconcave one spreads them, so focal length and ray paths can be traced on paper.
- Tracing converging and diverging rays from a ray box on paper
- Measuring the 75 mm focal length from traced ray diagrams
- Comparing biconvex, plano convex and biconcave lens shapes
- Showing a line focus and the correction of astigmatism in lessons on the eye
- Middle-school and senior-secondary ray optics practicals

Frequently asked questions
Which forms of cylindrical lens are available?
Biconcave, biconvex and plano convex, each 50 x 45 mm with a 75 mm focal length.
How does a cylindrical lens differ from a spherical lens?
It is curved in one direction only, so it brings light to a line focus instead of a point.
How are the lenses packed?
Each lens is individually pouched and supplied in a presentation case.
