OM50
Standard magnetic quadrupole singlet
lens

single stress- relieved
billet of high quality magnet iron.

ensures very pure quadrupole filed quality
over the 15 mm lens bore diameter.
- Negligible parasitic aberrations as measured by the grid
shadow technique.
- Nickel plated for a durable finish.
- A single lens produces a line focus.
