  2. Depth of field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field

    The hyperfocal distance has a property called "consecutive depths of field", where a lens focused at an object whose distance from the lens is at the hyperfocal distance H will hold a depth of field from H/2 to infinity, if the lens is focused to H/2, the depth of field will be from H/3 to H; if the lens is then focused to H/3, the depth of ...

  3. Depth of focus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_focus

    Depth of field depends on the focus distance, while depth of focus does not. Depth of focus can have two slightly different meanings. The first is the distance over which the image plane can be displaced while a single object plane remains in acceptably sharp focus; [1][2] [clarify] the second is the image-side conjugate of depth of field.

    The hyperfocal distance has a property called "consecutive depths of field", where a lens focused at an object whose distance from the lens is at the hyperfocal distance H will hold a depth of field from H/2 to infinity, if the lens is focused to H/2, the depth of field will be from H/3 to H; if the lens is then focused to H/3, the depth of ...

  5. Optical sectioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_sectioning

    With no modification to the microscope, i.e. with a simple wide field light microscope, the quality of optical sectioning is governed by the same physics as the depth of field effect in photography. For a high numerical aperture lens, equivalent to a wide aperture , the depth of field is small ( shallow focus ) and gives good optical sectioning.

  6. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    Comparison of f /32 (top-left half) and f /5 (bottom-right half) Shallow focus with a wide open lens. Depth of field increases with f-number, as illustrated in the image here. This means that photographs taken with a low f-number (large aperture) will tend to have subjects at one distance in focus, with the rest of the image (nearer and farther ...

  7. Deep focus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_focus

    Deep focus is a photographic and cinematographic technique using a large depth of field. Depth of field is the front-to-back range of focus in an image, or how much of it appears sharp and clear. In deep focus, the foreground, middle ground, and background are all in focus. Deep focus is normally achieved by choosing a small aperture.

  8. Microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopy

    Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723). The field of microscopy (optical microscopy) dates back to at least the 17th-century.Earlier microscopes, single lens magnifying glasses with limited magnification, date at least as far back as the wide spread use of lenses in eyeglasses in the 13th century [2] but more advanced compound microscopes first appeared in Europe around 1620 [3] [4] The ...

  9. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Marr's 2 1 ⁄ 2 D sketch assumes that a depth map is constructed, and that this map is the basis of 3D shape perception. However, both stereoscopic and pictorial perception, as well as monocular viewing, make clear that the perception of 3D shape precedes, and does not rely on, the perception of the depth of points.
