Oriel Instruments 66112 Bench Mount Aspheric Condensing Lens Assembly Lab

Oriel Instruments 66112 Bench Mount Aspheric Condensing Lens Assembly Lab

The Oriel Instruments 66112 is a bench mount aspheric condensing lens assembly designed to collect and focus light from a source with high efficiency. The aspheric lens design minimizes spherical aberration, allowing more of the source's output to be captured and directed into a beam or coupled into a downstream optical element. The assembly is housed in a rigid anodized aluminum bracket that stands free on an optical bench or table surface.

Applications

Oriel Instruments — now part of Newport Corporation — has long produced condensing lens assemblies like the 66112 for use with arc lamp and quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) light sources in spectroscopy, solar simulation, photolithography, and general optical research setups. A condensing lens assembly captures the diverging output of a lamp source and collimates or focuses it into a usable beam, dramatically improving throughput into monochromators, fiber bundles, integrating spheres, or sample illuminators. The bench mount form factor allows the 66112 to be positioned freely on an optical table or breadboard without requiring a post or rail system, making it straightforward to align with a lamp housing and downstream optics. These assemblies are standard components in university research labs, government optical labs, and industrial photonics setups where Oriel lamp sources are in use.
