Description
A double-convex (biconvex) lens curves outward on both sides, so it is thickest at the centre. It converges light and forms real images. A symmetric biconvex lens works best when object and image are at similar distances, around 1:1. Typical uses include projectors, cameras, telescopes and magnifiers.
