  2. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    The numerical aperture with respect to a point P depends on the half-angle, θ1, of the maximum cone of light that can enter or exit the lens and the ambient index of refraction. As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n1sin θ1 ...

  3. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    f-number. Diagram of decreasing apertures, that is, increasing f-numbers, in one-stop increments; each aperture has half the light-gathering area of the previous one. An f-number is a measure of the light-gathering ability of an optical system such as a camera lens. It is calculated by dividing the system's focal length by the diameter of the ...

  4. 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.

  5. Ray transfer matrix analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_transfer_matrix_analysis

    Note that, since the multiplication of matrices is non-commutative, this is not the same RTM as that for a lens followed by free space: = [] [] = []. Thus the matrices must be ordered appropriately, with the last matrix premultiplying the second last, and so on until the first matrix is premultiplied by the second.

  6. Aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture

    Aperture. In biology, the pupil (appearing as a black hole) of the eye is its aperture and the iris is its diaphragm. In humans, the pupil can constrict to as small as 2 mm (f/ 8.3) and dilate to larger than 8 mm (f/ 2.1) in some individuals. In optics, the aperture of an optical system (including a system consisted of a single lens) is a hole ...

  7. Focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

    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. A positive focal length indicates that a ...

  8. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    For a single lens surrounded by a medium of refractive index n = 1, the locations of the principal points H and H ′ with respect to the respective lens vertices are given by the formulas = ′ = (), where f is the focal length of the lens, d is its thickness, and r 1 and r 2 are the radii of curvature of its surfaces. Positive signs indicate ...

  9. Abbe sine condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe_sine_condition

    In optics, the Abbe sine condition is a condition that must be fulfilled by a lens or other optical system in order for it to produce sharp images of off-axis as well as on-axis objects. It was formulated by Ernst Abbe in the context of microscopes. [1] The Abbe sine condition says that. the sine of the object-space angle should be proportional ...
