Plano-Convex lenses have one flat surface and one surface that curves outwards. This results in a positive focal length and minimizes spherical aberration in situations where the object and image are placed at unequal distances from the lens. They are a low cost and effective method of collimating and converging light in imaging applications and are the best choice for focusing parallel rays of light to a single point.
