5. PLANO A plano concave lens
CONCAVE is an optical lens with one
concave surface and one
flat surface. It has a
negative focal length, and
can be used for light
projection, beam
expansion, or to increase
focal length of an optical
system. ... Our facility
produces lenses from
2.33 mm to 1000 mm in
diameter.
6. CONCAVO- Concavo-convex lens is a
CONCAVE type of convex lens in
which one side is convex
(bulged out) and other
side is concave such
that it is thick in the
middle and thin at its
edges (which is as like as
the shape of a crescent
moon).

focal length.
It is a diverging lens,
meaning that it spreads
out light rays that have
been refracted through it.
This is the point onto
which the collimated light
that moves parallel to the
axis of the lens is
focused.
