    <p>Dk/e 24 = 9.9% Dk/e 87 = 17.9% Dk/e 100 = Not meaningful above air percentage Dk/e beyond 100 = No increase in EOP</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Permeabiliy and Transmissibility of Lenses

    • By convention, manufacturers specify DK/e at 35°C
    • Lens power increases closer to the centre
    • Lens power decreases as you move towards the edge
    • Measurements for different len types varies, making direct comparisons difficult
    • Comparing data from different methods/specifications in technical documents is sometimes tricky
    • Measurements are dependent on experimental conditions like temperature, pressure and concentration, so these factors should be considered when comparing
    • Current measurements for materials SI-HI are only slightly reliable
