  2. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  3. Focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

    The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror.. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light; it is the inverse of the system's optical power.

  4. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The young human eye can change focus from distance (infinity) to as near as 6.5 cm from the eye. [32] [33] This dramatic change in focal power of the eye of approximately 15 dioptres (the reciprocal of focal length in metres) occurs as a consequence of a reduction in zonular tension induced by ciliary muscle contraction.

  5. Flat lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_lens

    The focusing intensities and the focal length can be controlled effectively by varying laser power and lens size, respectively. By using oil immersion high numerical aperture (NA) objective during DLW process, 300 nm fabrication feature size on GO film has been realized, and therefore the minimum lens size reached 4.6 μm in diameter, the ...

  6. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    When using an optical telescope in astronomy, there is no depth of field issue, and the brightness of stellar point sources in terms of total optical power (not divided by area) is a function of absolute aperture area only, independent of focal length. The focal length controls the field of view of the instrument and the scale of the image that ...

  7. Depth of field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field

    The depth of field, and thus hyperfocal distance, changes with the focal length as well as the f-stop. This lens is set to the hyperfocal distance for f /32 at a focal length of 100 mm. In optics and photography, hyperfocal distance is a distance from a lens beyond which all objects can be brought into an "acceptable" focus.

  8. Photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_lens_design

    Optically designed as a reverse telephoto to enable the lens to fit into a standard mount as the focal length can be less than the distance from lens mount to focal plane. Long-focus lens - a lens with a focal length greater than the diagonal of the film frame or sensor. Long focus lenses are relatively simple to design, the challenges being ...

  9. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

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

    The effective focal length is nearly equal to the stated focal length of the lens (F), except in macro photography where the lens-to-object distance is comparable to the focal length. In this case, the absolute transverse magnification factor ( m ) ( m = S 2 / S 1 {\displaystyle m=S_{2}/S_{1}} ) must be taken into account:
