A vintage Edmund Salvage achromat lens with 171mm focal length and 32mm diameter — a precision optical component built for scientific, educational, or hobbyist optical work. Achromat lenses are prized for their ability to minimize chromatic aberration across visible wavelengths, making them ideal for telescopes, microscopes, and other optical instruments where color correction matters. This example comes with its original printed envelope and instruction slip, offering a window into mid-century optical manufacturing. The lens is optically clear and ready to integrate into an optical assembly or collection.
Condition: used good.
Clear glass lens with the original printed envelope and instruction slip; per the slip the anti-reflective coating is partly deteriorated, and the paper envelope is aged and worn.
