Cylindrical lenses are used in applications requiring magnification in one dimension only. They are used to transform a point image into a line image and to change image height without changing width, or vice versa. Typical applications include slit and line-detector-array illumination.
ultiQuest Technology cylindrical lenses are either plano-convex (positive) or plano-concave (negative) and are avaliable in BK7 or UV-grade fused silica.
