  2. Pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil

    In humans, the pupil is circular, but its shape varies between species; some cats, reptiles, and foxes have vertical slit pupils, goats and sheep have horizontally oriented pupils, and some catfish have annular types. [3] In optical terms, the anatomical pupil is the eye's aperture and the iris is the aperture stop.

  3. Stiles–Crawford effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiles–Crawford_effect

    Electromagnetic analysis of light rays incident on a model human cone revealed that the Stiles–Crawford effect is explained by the shape, size, and refractive indices of the various parts of cone photoreceptors, [4] which are roughly oriented towards the center of the pupil. [5] Since the width of human cone cells is on the order of two ...

  4. Pupil function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil_function

    The pupil function or aperture function describes how a light wave is affected upon transmission through an optical imaging system such as a camera, microscope, or the human eye. More specifically, it is a complex function of the position in the pupil [ 1 ] or aperture (often an iris ) that indicates the relative change in amplitude and phase ...

  6. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The pupil of the human eye can range in size from 2 mm to over 8 mm to adapt to the environment. The human eye can detect a luminance from 10 −6 cd/m 2, or one millionth (0.000001) of a candela per square meter to 10 8 cd/m 2 or one hundred million (100,000,000) candelas per square meter.

  7. Pupillary distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_distance

    Distance PD is the separation between the visual axes of the eyes in their primary position, as the subject fixates on an infinitely distant object. [2] Near PD is the separation between the visual axes of the eyes, at the plane of the spectacle lenses, as the subject fixates on a near object at the intended working distance. [3]

  8. Eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye

    This type of eye is common in mammals, including humans. The simplest eyes are pit eyes. They are eye-spots which may be set into a pit to reduce the angle of light that enters and affects the eye-spot, to allow the organism to deduce the angle of incoming light. [1] Eyes enable several photo response functions that are independent of vision.

    Square-shaped faces will have similar measurements in width across the forehead, jaw, and cheekbones. Rather than having more volume on one half of the face than the other, squares usually show ...
