  2. Entrance pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_pupil

    The entrance pupil is the image of the aperture stop viewed from the front of the optical system and here it is a virtual image. Chief rays and marginal rays determine the location and the size of the entrance pupil, respectively. A camera lens adjusted for large and small aperture.

  3. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    It is calculated by dividing the system's focal length by the diameter of the entrance pupil ("clear aperture "). [1][2][3] The f-number is also known as the focal ratio, f-ratio, or f-stop, and it is key in determining the depth of field, diffraction, and exposure of a photograph. [4]

  4. Entrance and Exit Pupil - RP Photonics

    www.rp-photonics.com/entrance_and_exit_pupil.html

    The entrance pupil is the apparent aperture as seen from the object side. One solves that problem by constructing the so-called entrance pupil, which has a certain diameter and axial position. In Figure 2, this is shown for the system as above, but containing only the middle aperture (A2, now called A).

    The entrance pupil is the image of the aperture stop viewed from the front of the optical system and here it is a virtual image. Chief rays and marginal rays determine the location and the size of the entrance pupil, respectively.

  6. Telecentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens

    A telecentric lens is a special optical lens (often an objective lens or a camera lens) that has its entrance or exit pupil, or both, at infinity. The size of images produced by a telecentric lens is insensitive to either the distance between an object being imaged and the lens, or the distance between the image plane and the lens, or both, and ...

  7. Entrance Pupil | Size, Function & Geometric Optics

    modern-physics.org/entrance-pupil

    The entrance pupil is essentially the image of the aperture stop in an optical system, as seen through the front of the lens system. It’s where light rays entering the system appear to converge before being focused or manipulated by the optical components.

  8. Understanding Entrance Pupil - Photography Stack Exchange

    photo.stackexchange.com/questions/130430/understanding-entrance-pupil

    The effective aperture or entrance pupil is the image of the aperture stop as seen from the front of the lens. Well, there is nothing intuitive for me. Let's start from the basics.

  9. Entrance and Exit Pupils - SPIE

    spie.org/.../optipedia-free-optics-information/pm92_162_entrance_exit_pupils

    In the case of a lens with an internal aperture stop, as in Fig. 1.7, the concepts of entrance pupil and exit pupil are particularly important. If we view the lens in Fig. 1.7 from the object space, we see an image of the aperture stop, known as the entrance pupil.

  10. The Entrance pupil of a lens is the diameter of the clear opening which intercepts and focuses light, as seen from the outside. It varies in size according to the aperture opening; but it does not exactly equal the aperture's physical diameter.

  11. What are the benefits of the classic f-number scheme?

    photo.stackexchange.com/questions/113059/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-classic...

    The effective pupil diameter is important as a measure of unsharpness: the entrance pupil forms the base of "unsharpness cones" that have their respective tip (indicating full sharpness) in the focus plane and widen again from there.

  12. Exit pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_pupil

    The exit pupil is an image of the aperture made by the optics following it; divergent rays from each point in the aperture plane come together again in the exit pupil. To use an optical instrument, the entrance pupil of the viewer's eye (the image of the anatomical pupil as seen through the cornea ) must be aligned with and be of similar size ...

  13. Entrance Pupil Database - PanoTools.org Wiki

    wiki.panotools.org/Entrance_Pupil_Database

    Entrance Pupil Measurements. To calculate the Entrance pupil distance add the Tripod Mount Length (L1) from the camera and the Entrance Pupil Length (L2) from the lens. So for example for a Canon 300d and a 10-22mm at 10mm, the total Entrance pupil distance from the tripod mount is 40mm + 66mm = 106mm

  14. Entrance Pupil -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics -...

    scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/EntrancePupil.html

    Entrance Pupil. The image of the aperture stop. If there is no physical aperture stop, the entrance pupil is an image of the lens or mirror itself. When it is unclear which element is the aperture stop, the image which subtends the smallest angle at the axial object point is the entrance pupil.

    photonstophotos.net/GeneralTopics/Lenses/Optics_Primer/Optics_Primer_09.htm

    The entrance and exit pupils are virtual images of the aperture as viewed from the object side and image side of the lens respectively. They are virtual rather than real images because the rays that travel from the aperture outward diverge rather than converge.

  16. Optical Axes and Angle Kappa - EyeWiki

    eyewiki.org/Optical_Axes_and_Angle_Kappa

    The optical axis is composed of an imaginary line perpendicular to the cornea that intersects the center of the entrance pupil. In comparison, the visual axis is an imaginary line that connects the object in space, the center of the entrance and exit pupil, and the center of the fovea.

  17. Pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil

    In optical terms, the anatomical pupil is the eye's aperture and the iris is the aperture stop. The image of the pupil as seen from outside the eye is the entrance pupil, which does not exactly correspond to the location and size of the physical pupil because it is magnified by the cornea.

  18. Telecentric Design Topics - Edmund Optics

    www.edmundoptics.com/knowledge-center/application-notes/imaging/telecentric...

    The entrance pupil is the image of the aperture stop into object space, and the exit pupil is the image of the aperture stop into image space. See Figure 1 for illustrations of entrance and exit pupils for a non-telecentric lens.

  19. Entrance pupil (EP) is the more commonly accepted technical term. Effective aperture (EA) means the same thing when referring to the aperture opening used to divide the focal length by to figure the f-number.

  20. Pupil magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil_magnification

    The pupil magnification of an optical system is the ratio of the diameter of the exit pupil to the diameter of the entrance pupil. The pupil magnification is used in calculations of the effective f-number, which affects a number of important elements related to optics, such as exposure, diffraction, and depth of field.

  21. In an optical system, the entrance pupil is the optical image of the physical aperture stop, as 'seen' through the front (the object side) of the lens system. The corresponding image of the aperture as seen through the back of the lens system is called the exit pupil. If there is no lens in front of the aperture (as in a pinhole camera), the entrance pupil's location and size are identical to ...
