  2. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    Optical magnification is the ratio between the apparent size of an object (or its size in an image) and its true size, and thus it is a dimensionless number. Optical magnification is sometimes referred to as "power" (for example "10× power"), although this can lead to confusion with optical power .

  3. Micrograph - Wikipedia

    A micrograph is an image, ... Magnification is a ratio between the size of an object on a picture and its real size. Magnification can be a misleading parameter as it ...

  4. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    The magnification of the virtual image formed by the plane mirror is 1. Top: The formation of a virtual image using a diverging lens. Bottom: The formation of a virtual image using a convex mirror. In both diagrams, f is the focal point, O is the object, and I is the virtual image, shown in grey. Solid blue lines indicate (real) light rays and ...

  5. 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.

  6. Depth of field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field

    Note that = is the transverse magnification which is the ratio of the lateral image size to the lateral subject size. [5] Image sensor size affects DOF in counterintuitive ways. Because the circle of confusion is directly tied to the sensor size, decreasing the size of the sensor while holding focal length and aperture constant will decrease ...

  7. Geometrical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_optics

    The image size is the same as the object size. (The magnification of a ... Incoming parallel rays are focused by a convex lens into an inverted real image one focal ...

  8. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    Assuming the sensed image includes the whole target, the angle seen by the camera, its FOV, is this angular extent of the target times the ratio of full image size to target image size. [ 10 ] The target's angular extent is: α = 2 arctan ⁡ L 2 f c {\displaystyle \alpha =2\arctan {\frac {L}{2f_{c}}}} where L {\displaystyle L} is the dimension ...

  9. Magnifying glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnifying_glass

    The lens's magnification is the ratio of the image's apparent height to the object's actual height, correlating to the proportion of the distances from the image to the lens and the object to the lens. Moving the object nearer to the lens amplifies this effect, increasing magnification. [10]
