Effect of aperture modulation on the MTF of a binocular objective having off-axis aberrations
Applied Optics
|June 5, 2010
Abstract:
Aperture modulation effects have been investigated in a Korean binocular objective lens in isolation from the rest of the system. The off-axis aberrations are derived from the design data. The MTFs are measured for the same modulated aperture and compared by the same method, in the presence of off-axis aberrations, as the rotationally symmetric aberrations presented in the previous paper [Appl. Opt. 22, 1812 (1983)]. The MTF of the lens was found to be improved by proper aperture modulation.

01:18Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.

01:16Focusing of Light in the Eye
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...
