  2. Aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture

    Reducing the aperture size (increasing the f-number) provides less light to sensor and also increases the depth of field (by limiting the angle of cone of image light reaching the sensor), which describes the extent to which subject matter lying closer than or farther from the actual plane of focus appears to be in focus. In general, the ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Diaphragm (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(optics)

    Nine-blade iris Pentacon 2.8/135 lens with 15-blade iris Aperture mechanism of Canon 50mm f/1.8 II lens, with five blades In the human eye, the iris (light brown) acts as the diaphragm and continuously constricts and dilates its aperture (the pupil) A 750nm titanium-sapphire laser beam passing through an iris diaphragm, while opening and closing the iris.

  5. Pupillary light reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_light_reflex

    The pupillary light reflex (PLR) or photopupillary reflex is a reflex that controls the diameter of the pupil, in response to the intensity of light that falls on the retinal ganglion cells of the retina in the back of the eye, thereby assisting in adaptation of vision to various levels of lightness/darkness.

  6. Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics

    The human eye is a living optical device. The iris (light brown region), pupil (black circle in the centre), and sclera (white surrounding area) are visible in this image, along with the eyelids and eyelashes which protect the eye

  7. Ambient light sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_light_sensor

    The ambient light sensor of a Google Pixel 4a smartphone under a microscope. An ambient light sensor is a component in smartphones, notebooks, other mobile devices, automotive displays and LCD TVs. It is a photodetector that is used to sense the amount of ambient light present, and appropriately dim the device's screen to match it.

  8. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The functioning of a camera is often compared with the workings of the eye, mostly since both focus light from external objects in the field of view onto a light-sensitive medium. In the case of the camera, this medium is film or an electronic sensor; in the case of the eye, it is an array of visual receptors.

  9. Entrance pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_pupil

    A camera lens adjusted for large and small aperture. The visible opening is the entrance pupil of the lens. The apparent location of the anatomical pupil of a human eye (black circle) is the eye's entrance pupil location. The outside world appears to be seen from the point at the center of the entrance pupil.
