In his workshop in Padua, Italy, he discovered that plano-convex and plano-concave lenses worked best—that is, lenses with a plane on one side and curved surfaces on the other. Then, drawing on ...

A plano concave lens 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 ...

Meniscus lenses are optical lenses that produce a smaller focal point and fewer aberrations than a standard plano-convex lens. Meniscus lenses have one convex and one concave surface with each surface ...
