Geometrical and Instrumental Optics Lab 9: Thick Lenses Alisha Pokharel Thursday P.M.
Pokharel 1 Alisha Pokharel Lab #3 Thick Lenses Thursday, 1 P.M. Objectives: The purpose of this lab was for us to understand how to use the nodal slide in order to measure the six cardinal points of the two lenses we were provided with. Another goal for this lab was to be able to calculate the cardinal points by using values that we found using the nodal slide. The nodal slide is important to learn about because it is used in a multitude of different optical instruments. It also helps get intricate adjustments without ruining the quality of the image. Procedures and Equipment: The main optical device that was used in this experiment was the nodal slide. There were multiple measurements and steps we had to take for this lab. For the first measurement we had to use the optical rail, move it back and forth, in order to form an image in the microscope and record the location of the microscope. For the second measurement we had to rotate the nodal slide until the object appeared stationary while still moving the nodal slide and record the vernier readings. In the second part of the lab we had to rotate the nodal slide 180 degrees in order to measure the other side of the lens. In this part we were able to calculate the thickness of the lens and the front focal distance using the measurements obtained in this part. Summary: Overall this lab helped us get a better understanding of the different components of a lens. We learned that there was more than just a rear and front focal point, and we were able to calculate the other parts of a lens from measurements taken. We were also able to learn how to use the nodal slide, which is a very complicated optical instrument to operate with. This lab helped us to take the concepts we learned about gaussian imagery and apply them in real life.

For the KPX052 Bi-Convex lens we got a back focal distance of 51mm for side one, and compared to the Newport catalog their value was 48.10mm which is pretty close to ours. Other values of the Newport lens are: their front principal plane is 2.09mm compared to our 2.35mm(VP), their rear principle plan is -2.09 compared to -2.85(V’P’), their radius of curvature is 50.806mm compared to our value of 2.35mm(VN), their distance between the vertices is 6.226mm compared to our 6.95mm(VV’). For the KPX082 Plano-Convex lens their back focal length is 46.03mm compared to our 46mm of side one, their radius of curvature is 24.493 compared to our value of 0.15mm(VN), their principle plane value is -4.16mm compared to our value of 1.75mm (PP’), their distance between the vertices is 6.321mm compared to our value of 5.7(VV’). Overall, our data was pretty similar and the areas where we had a big discrepancy between the catalog values and our experimental values for the KPX082 lens was the radius of curvature and principal plane. Errors that could have been made in these cases were the fact that we either misaligned the nodal slide or if the lens was dirty causing us to move it further back or forward in order to focus it well and in turn get different values from the expected. For the KBX052 lens the parts where we had a lot of error was again the radius of curvature, but other than that all the other values were really close.
