What is a double convex lens?
Bi-Convex (Double-Convex) lenses have the same radius of curvature on both sides of the lens and function similarly to plano-convex lenses by focusing parallel rays of light to a single point. As a guideline, bi-convex lenses perform with minimum aberration at conjugate ratios between 5:1 and 1:5.

What is the application of double convex lens?
1. Astronomical telescope: biconvex lenses are used in astronomical telescopes to diffuse light and help the observer see more distant objects.
2. Microscope: in a microscope, a biconvex lens is used to view thin samples, such as biological sections.
3. Magnifiers: biconvex lenses magnify objects and form an orthogonal virtual image for easy reading and fine manipulation.
4. Beam expanding lenses: biconvex lenses can be used as beam expanding lenses to change the size and shape of the beam.
5. Imaging lens: in an imaging system, a biconvex lens can be used to form a clear and solid image.
6. Converging lens: biconvex lenses can be used as converging lenses to bring light rays together at one point.
7. Laser systems: in laser systems, biconvex lenses can be used to focus the laser beam, expand the beam or change the transmission characteristics of the light.
8. Automotive: in the automotive field, biconvex lenses are mostly used for xenon headlamps that share a light source for both near and far light, and only one xenon bulb is needed to switch between near and far light.
9. Biomedical: in the biomedical field, biconvexl lenses are widely used in microscope imaging, laser therapy and optical imaging.
10. Optical communication: biconvex lenses can be applied to signal modulation, optical connection and optical path selection in optical communication systems.

What is the shape of a double convex lens?
Biconvex lenses, also known as double convex lenses, are simple optical lenses with two convex spherical surfaces that bulge out from the center. These surfaces, having the same radius of curvature, focus parallel rays of light to a single point beyond the lens, making them ideal for conjugate imaging systems.
