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.
An optical system is typically designed with a single aperture stop, and therefore has a single entrance pupil at designed working conditions. In general, though, the determination of which element is the aperture stop depends on the object distance, so a system may have different entrance pupils for different object planes. [1]
Larger stops can cause the light intensity reaching the film or detector to fall off toward the edges of the picture, especially when, for off-axis points, a different stop becomes the aperture stop by virtue of cutting off more light than did the stop that was the aperture stop on the optic axis. The stop location determines the telecentricity ...

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.
A the relative aperture (f-number) T the exposure time ("shutter speed") in seconds [2] A v and T v represent the numbers of stops from f /1 and 1 second, respectively. Use of APEX required logarithmic markings on aperture and shutter controls, however, and these never were incorporated in consumer cameras.
An image-space telecentric lens has the exit pupil (the image of the aperture stop formed by optics after it) at infinity and produces images of the same size regardless of the distance between the lens and the film or image sensor. This allows the lens to focus light from an object or sample to different distances without changing the size of ...
