BK-7 (as well as the very similar K9) refers to a type of borosilicate glass that has long been and still is widely used across many different optical product brands and models. BK-7 and K9 are lower in cost than BaK-4 and therefore are often found in lower priced products than BaK-4.
Abbe Number of n-BK7. The Abbe number of n-BK7 glass is typically around 64.17. This relatively high Abbe number indicates that n-BK7 has low dispersion, meaning it does not spread out light into its constituent colors as much as materials with a lower Abbe number.

N-BK7 is a softer glass that is significantly more sensitive to thermal variations than either fused quartz or low CTE materials such as Zerodur so special considerations have to be made in manufacturing to adjust for these properties.
