Chapter 25 Optical Instruments 25-1 The Camera The basic parts of a camera are the light-tight box, lens, and shutter. Shutter speed refers to the speed of the shutter opening and closing. F-stop controls the amount of light coming into the light-tight box, by controlling the size of the opening F-stop=f/D

25-1 The Camera Circles of confusion involve objects not in focus forming circles of non-focused imagesnot all distances of objects can be in focus at one time. A smaller lens opening will cause there to be a wider range of in-focus object distances. See normal lens, telephoto lens, wide-angle lens, zoom lens. In a single-lens reflex system, you view through the actual lens some cameras have a separate window. See Example 25-1

25-2 The Human EyeCorrective Lenses See the eye pg. 761 Focusing of the eye involves accomodation muscles contract to make the lens thicker for nearby objects and relax to make the lens thinner for far objects. The closest an eye can focus is the near point. The farthest an eye can focus is the far point. The normal eye has a npt of 25 cm and a fpt of

infinity. See nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism on page 763 See Examples25-3 and 25-4 on p 764. 25-3 The Magnifying Glass Simple magnifier or magnifying glass.
