Cylindrical Lenses
Product Information
Cylindrical lenses have a spherical radius
in one direction. This allows to focus the
light in one axis. Thus a point of light
could be stretched into a single line.
Cylindrical lenses are used in various
applications, for example for barcode
scanning or laser projection.
