  2. 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.

  3. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    The Arlow-Abbe condenser is a modified Abbe condenser that replaces the iris diaphragm, filter holder, lamp and lamp optics with a small OLED or LCD digital display unit. The display unit allows for digitally synthesised filters for dark-field, Rheinberg, oblique and dynamic (constantly changing) illumination under direct computer control.

  4. Bright-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright-field_microscopy

    A bright-field microscope has many important parts including; the condenser, the objective lens, the ocular lens, the diaphragm, and the aperture. Some other pieces of the microscope that are commonly known are the arm, the head, the illuminator, the base, the stage, the adjusters, and the brightness adjuster.

  5. Aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture

    Different apertures of a lens 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.

  6. Iris (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(anatomy)

    The iris (pl.: irides or irises) is a thin, annular structure in the eye in most mammals and birds that is responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil, and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. In optical terms, the pupil is the eye's aperture, while the iris is the diaphragm. Eye color is defined by the iris.

  7. Talk:Diaphragm (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    An iris diaphragm is a diaphragm, and not a shutter; similarly, the iris of the eye is a diaphragm, and is the aperture stop of that organ. Yes, in the old days, before the iris diaphragm was invented, diaphragms had fixed-size apertures. In many devices, that's still true, that there will be one or a few fixed apertures.

  8. Enlarger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlarger

    Enlarger lens: using the aperture ring, the photographer adjusts the iris diaphragm. The image from the negative or transparency is projected through a lens, typically fitted with an adjustable aperture marked with f/ stops, onto a flat surface bearing the sensitized photographic paper. By adjusting the ratio of distance from film to lens to ...

  9. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    The f-number N is given by: = where f is the focal length, and D is the diameter of the entrance pupil (effective aperture).It is customary to write f-numbers preceded by "f /", which forms a mathematical expression of the entrance pupil's diameter in terms of f and N. [1]
