  2. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    A burning apparatus consisting of two biconvex lens. A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lenses

    A simple lens is an optical element with perfect or approximate axial symmetry which transmits and refracts light, concentrating or diverging the beam.A compound lens is an array of simple lenses (elements) with a common axis; the use of multiple elements allows more optical aberrations to be corrected than is possible with a single element.

  4. Optical axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_axis

    Optical axis (coincides with red ray) and rays symmetrical to optical axis (pair of blue and pair of green rays) propagating through different lenses. An optical axis is an imaginary line that passes through the geometrical center of an optical system such as a camera lens , microscope or telescopic sight . [ 1 ]

  5. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    The optical center of a spherical lens is a point such that If a ray passes through it, then its lens-exiting angle with respect to the optical axis is not deviated from the lens-entering angle. In the right figure, [ 8 ] the points A and B are where parallel lines of radii of curvature R 1 and R 2 meet the lens surfaces.

  6. Camera lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lens

    Different kinds of camera lenses, including wide angle, telephoto and speciality. A camera lens (also known as photographic lens or photographic objective) is an optical lens or assembly of lenses (compound lens) used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically.

  7. Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics

    This is any lens with a focal length longer than the diagonal measure of the film or sensor. [121] The most common type of long focus lens is the telephoto lens, a design that uses a special telephoto group to be physically shorter than its focal length. [122] Modern zoom lenses may have some or all of these attributes.

  8. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

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

    The orientation of the oval indicates which axis is more in focus, and thus which direction the lens needs to move. A square arrangement of only four sensors can observe this bias and use it to bring the read lens to best focus, without being fooled by oblong pits or other features on the disc surface. [citation needed]

  9. 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 ...
