No - by definition. You can have a plano-convex (or -concave) lens (one side flat). Actually a purely plano "lens" would be merely a glass disc.
It was a tube with lenses at each end. The magnification ranged from 3X to 9X depending on the size. The eyepiece lens was bi-convex and the far end lens was plano-convex.
Today's microscopes use convex lenses.
convex lens
The outward curving of the lens is said to be a convex lens.
convex mirror is not used in solar cooker since it form image inside the polished surface
A lens that only has one flat surface is called a plano convex lens. The plano convex lens makes fringes circular because the air film is symmetrical.
yes...it is a plano-convex lens....wid grooves cut in it on convex side...it is very very thin as compared to a simple convex lens
Double-convex lens
A converging lens is also known as a magnifying lens. The shape of the lens is a double convex shape.
There are a variety of lenses used in theaterical or stage lighting. Here is a short list and their uses: Plano-Convex- This lens is used in standard Ellipsoidal Spotlights. One side is flat(plano) and the other is Convex. Convex-convex- This lens is also used in conjunction with Plano-Convex. This, however, has both sides of the lens as convex. Fresnel lens- Used in fresnels to disperse the light Par- These lenses are intergrated into the filament, envelope, and base of the lamp. These are bubble type lenses.
Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.

a convex lens
Plano Convexif its for penn foster it's a CONVERGING lens.just took the test.
projector have concave or convex
convex lens
The convex lens are the converging lens. The periphery of the convex lens is thinner & the center part is thicker. In other words, the convex lens are bulging at the center & thinner at the periphery.
