I think the specialty of this Melles-Griot lens is that it's telecentric on the object side. That means it has basically no perspective effect!  The magnification of objects is independent of distance (objects that are further away do not appear smaller, even though they may be out of focus).
This is particularly useful for what is called "machine vision", which is often used in production lines where the tolerances of mass produced items have to be precisely checked.
This is just a little summary from the wiki article and my own experience with these lenses. |

Telecentric lenses are very interesting!
But they have to be bigger than the object - that results in very big telecentric lenses with a diameter up to 400 mm! But as far as I know, these very big lenses use fresnel lenses for the big diameter lenses.

Oh no! The dreaded threads.  :
Now I get to see inside!  :
Easy to take apart. Spanner gets used to remove notched rig holding in front element group. (note to self, next time use the correct tool, not cheap calipers!):
The element group is BIG, about 3.25" diameter, and THICK:
The rear element looks like a filter now. It is a filter! Mounted from the inside(!):
Hmmm, I was mistaken about the part number. the true part number was hidden under a mounting bracket:
All together and clean now:
Now for some snaps:
