  2. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

    Telescopic sights based on image erector lenses (used to present to the user with an upright image) have two planes of focus where a reticle can be placed: at the focal plane between the objective and the image erector lens system (the First Focal Plane (FFP)), or the focal plane between the image erector lens system and the eyepiece (the ...

  3. Conjugate focal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_focal_plane

    In optics, a conjugate plane or conjugate focal plane of a given plane P, is the plane P′ such that points on P are imaged on P′. [1] If an object is moved to the point occupied by its image, then the moved object's new image will appear at the point where the object originated.

  4. Reticle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticle

    The reticle may be located at the front or rear focal plane (First Focal Plane (FFP) or Second Focal Plane (SFP)) [8] of the telescopic sight. On fixed power telescopic sights there is no significant difference, but on variable power telescopic sights the front plane reticle remains at a constant size compared to the target, while rear plane ...

  5. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    The second plane used in the analysis is the sagittal plane, defined as the plane orthogonal to the tangential plane and containing the chief ray before refraction (so along the original chief ray direction). This plane intersects the optical axis at the entrance pupil of the optical system.

  6. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    One of the most important properties of microscope objectives is their magnification.The magnification typically ranges from 4× to 100×. It is combined with the magnification of the eyepiece to determine the overall magnification of the microscope; a 4× objective with a 10× eyepiece produces an image that is 40 times the size of the object.

  7. Scheimpflug principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle

    The axis of rotation is the intersection of the lens's front focal plane and a plane through the center of the lens parallel to the image plane, as shown in Figure 3. As the image plane is moved from IP 1 to IP 2, the PoF rotates about the axis G from position PoF 1 to position PoF 2; the "Scheimpflug line" moves from position S 1 to position S ...

  8. Epipolar geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epipolar_geometry

    This means that for each point observed in one image the same point must be observed in the other image on a known epipolar line. This provides an epipolar constraint: the projection of X on the right camera plane x R must be contained in the e R –x R epipolar line. All points X e.g. X 1, X 2, X 3 on the O L –X L line will

  9. Hyperfocal distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance

    The distinction between the two meanings is rarely made, since they have almost identical values. The value computed according to the first definition exceeds that from the second by just one focal length. Definition 1 The hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity acceptably ...
