  2. Schmidt camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_camera

    A Schmidt corrector plate is an aspheric lens which corrects the spherical aberration introduced by the spherical primary mirror of the Schmidt or Schmidt–Cassegrain telescope designs. It was invented by Bernhard Schmidt in 1931, [ 6 ] although it may have been independently invented by Finnish astronomer Yrjö Väisälä in 1924 (sometimes ...

  3. Photon sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sieve

    Photon sieve. A photon sieve is a device for focusing light using diffraction and interference.It consists of a flat sheet of material full of pinholes that are arranged in a pattern which is similar to the rings in a Fresnel zone plate, but with the ability to bring light to much sharper focus.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_astronomy

    Video astronomy (aka - Camera Assisted Astronomy, aka electronically-assisted astronomy or "EAA" [1]) is a branch of astronomy for near real-time observing of relatively faint astronomical objects using very sensitive CCD or CMOS cameras.

  5. Telecentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens

    A telecentric lens is a special optical lens (often an objective lens or a camera lens) that has its entrance or exit pupil, or both, at infinity. The size of images produced by a telecentric lens is insensitive to either the distance between an object being imaged and the lens, or the distance between the image plane and the lens, or both, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_optics

    Adaptive thin shell mirror. [5]Adaptive optics was first envisioned by Horace W. Babcock in 1953, [6] [7] and was also considered in science fiction, as in Poul Anderson's novel Tau Zero (1970), but it did not come into common usage until advances in computer technology during the 1990s made the technique practical.

  7. Periscope lens - Wikipedia

    Schematic of a conventional and a periscope zoom lens Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra with a 5x optical zoom periscope lens camera, recognizable by the rectangular shape of its lens. A periscope lens, sometimes called a folded lens, is a mechanical assembly of lens elements that uses a prism or mirror to redirect the light through the lenses with a 90° angle to the optical axis, as in a periscope.

  8. List of telescope parts and construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_telescope_parts...

    Primary lens: The objective of a refracting telescope. Primary mirror: The objective of a reflecting telescope. Corrector plate: A full aperture negative lens placed before a primary mirror designed to correct the optical aberrations of the mirror. Schmidt corrector plate: An aspheric-shaped corrector plate used in the Schmidt telescope.

  9. Fresnel imager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_Imager

    A Fresnel imager is a proposed ultra-lightweight design for a space telescope that uses a Fresnel array as primary optics instead of a typical lens. It focuses light with a thin opaque foil sheet punched with specially shaped holes, thus focusing light on a certain point by using the phenomenon of diffraction.
