What is a Ball Lens with Hole?
A ball lens with hole is a specially manufactured spherical optical element featuring a precision opening through the lens body. This structure combines the focusing characteristics of a ball lens with additional mechanical flexibility for optical system integration.
Why Choose a Ball Lens with Hole?
Compared with standard ball lenses, ball lenses with holes provide additional design possibilities for compact optical assemblies. The precision hole structure allows easier mounting, positioning, or integration with other optical components while maintaining reliable optical performance.
