About This Product
A cylindrical lens is curved in one direction only, so it focuses or spreads light along a single axis. A point of light therefore becomes a line, and an image is stretched or squeezed in one direction while the other stays unchanged. In school and college optics these lenses are used to show how lens shape controls the image, in contrast to the spherical convex and concave lenses used for ordinary focusing. School Lab Equipment India can export the Cylindrical Lenses to education buyers in Trinidad and Tobago, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Colombia and Mauritania.
