A ball lens consists of a highly transparent spherical ball, usually made of solid glass (fused silica) or another optical material with a refractive index of less than 2. Most ball lenses have small diameters — typically a few millimeters or even less than a millimeter. The optical physics can be understood by realizing that these lenses are, equivalently, two plano-convex lenses separated by a parallel plane.
