  2. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    Stepwise magnification by 6% per frame into a 39-megapixel image. In the final frame, at about 170x, an image of a bystander is seen reflected in the man's cornea. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a size ratio called optical magnification.

  3. Crop factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_factor

    The crop factor is sometimes referred to as "magnification factor", [5] "focal length factor" or "focal length multiplier". [6] This usage reflects the observation that lenses of a given focal length seem to produce greater magnification on crop-factor cameras than they do on full-frame cameras. This is an advantage in, for example, bird ...

  4. Telecentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens

    Telecentric lenses are used for precision optical two-dimensional measurements, reproduction (e.g., photolithography), and other applications that are sensitive to the image magnification or the angle of incidence of light. The simplest way to make a lens telecentric is to put the aperture stop at one of the lens's focal points.

  5. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    (In photography, the magnification is usually defined to be positive, despite the inverted image.) For example, with a magnification ratio of 1:2, we find f = 1.5 ⋅ F {\displaystyle f=1.5\cdot F} and thus the angle of view is reduced by 33% compared to focusing on a distant object with the same lens.

  6. Close-up lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-up_lens

    That distance is sometimes given on the filter in millimeters. A +3 close-up lens has a maximal working distance of 0.333 m or 333 mm. The magnification is the focal distance of the objective lens (f) divided by the focal distance of the close-up lens; i.e., the focal distance of the objective lens (in meters) multiplied by the diopter value (D) of the close-up lens:

  7. Loupe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loupe

    A loupe (/ ˈ l uː p / LOOP) is a simple, small magnification device used to see small details more closely. [1] They generally have higher magnification than a magnifying glass, and are designed to be held or worn close to the eye. A loupe does not have an attached handle, and its focusing lens(es) are contained in an opaque cylinder or cone ...

  8. Afocal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afocal_system

    The magnification of such a telescope is given by M = f 2 f 1 , {\displaystyle M={\frac {f_{2}}{f_{1}}},} Afocal systems are used in laser optics, for instance as beam expanders , Infrared and forward looking infrared systems, camera zoom lenses and telescopic lens attachments such as teleside converters , [ 3 ] and photography setups combining ...

  9. Refracting telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refracting_telescope

    A refractor's magnification is calculated by dividing the focal length of the objective lens by that of the eyepiece. [1] Refracting telescopes typically have a lens at the front, then a long tube, then an eyepiece or instrumentation at the rear, where the telescope view comes to focus. Originally, telescopes had an objective of one element ...
