	Lens (optics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		where n is the refractive index of the lens material, n' is the refractive index of the medium which the lens is in and d is the distance along the lens axis between the two surfaces (known as the thickness of the lens).
		In the latter, an object at the focal length distance from the lens is imaged at infinity.
		Chromatic aberration is caused by the dispersion of the lens material, the variation of its refractive index n with the wavelength of light.

	Fisheye lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fisheye lenses achieve extremely wide angles of view by foregoing a rectilinear image, opting instead for a special mapping (for example: equisolid angle), which gives images a characteristic convex appearance.
		In photography, a fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that projects deliberately distorted images.
		A panorama by rotating lens or stitching images (cylindrical perspective) is not a fisheye photo.

	Zoom lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early forms of zoom lenses were used in optical telescopes to provide continuous variation of the magnification of the image, and this was first reported in the proceedings of the Royal Society in 1834.
		This compensation may be done by mechanical means (moving the complete lens assembly as the magnification of the lens changes), or optically (arranging the position focal plane to vary as little as possible as the lens is zoomed).
		For example, a zoom lens with focal lengths ranging from 100 mm to 400 mm may be described as a "4x" zoom.

	Intraocular lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Insertion of an intraocular lens is the most commonly performed eye surgical procedure; cataracts are the most common eye disease.
		An intraocular lens (or IOL) is an implanted lens in the eye, usually replacing the existing crystalline lens because it has been clouded over by a cataract.
		Intraocular lenses have been used since 1999 for correcting larger errors in myopic (near-sighted), hyperopic (far-sighted), and astigmatic eyes.

	Lens flare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lens flare patterns typically spread widely across the scene and change location with the camera's movement relative to light sources, tracking with the light position and fading as the camera points away from the bright light until it causes no flare at all.
		Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from lens inhomogeneities.
		The spatial distribution of the lens flare typically manifests as several starbursts, rings, or circles in a row across the image or view.

	Lens (optics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The beam after passing through the lens appears to be emanating from a particular point on the axis in front of the lens; the distance from this point to the lens is also known as the focal length, although it is negative with respect to the focal length of a converging lens.
		where n is the refractive index of the lens material, n' is the refractive index of the medium which the lens is in and d is the distance along the lens axis between the two surfaces (known as the thickness of the lens).
		If the lens is biconvex or plano-convex, a collimated or parallel beam of light travelling parallel to the lens axis and passing through the lens will be converged (or focused) to a spot on the axis, at a certain distance behind the lens (known as the focal length).

	its7
		Accuracy of determination of lens optical centre displacement is defined by the angular aperture of lens, by the source sizes and by the type of observation system.
		Local deformations of the ITS,such as mutual offset and torsion of the end-cones, possible ellipticity, saggings and torsions of the detector ladders will bring about the offset of the detectors from the basic position inside the ITS, and will decrease the accuracy of the position determination.

	Photographic lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lens may usually be focused by adjusting the distance from the lens assembly to the image-forming surface, or by moving elements within the lens assembly.
		The maximum usable aperture of a lens is usually specified, as the focal ratio or f-number, which is equal to the focal length divided by the actual aperture diameter in the same units.
		The two main optical parameters of a photographic lens are the focal length and the maximum aperture.

	Prime lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In film and photography, a prime lens is a photographic lens whose focal length is fixed, as opposed to a zoom lens, which has a variable focal length.
		Prime lenses are not as versatile as their zoom counterparts, but are often of superior optical quality and lower cost.
		In 35mm photography a "normal" prime commonly refers to a prime lens with 50mm focal length because it renders an image most like what is seen by the human eye in real life.

	ninemsn Encarta - Lens (optics)
		The distance from the centre of the lens to the principal focus is known as the focal length of the lens.
		Rays of light striking the lens parallel to the principal axis are refracted by the “prisms” in such a way that they all pass through a single point, the principal focus of the lens.
		After polishing, the lens is “edged” by grinding the edge until the physical centre and the optical centre of the lens coincide.

		The lens may usually be focused by adjusting the distance from the lens assembly to the image-forming surface, or by moving elements within the lens assembly.
		The maximum usable aperture of a lens is usually specified, as the focal ratio or f-number, the focal length divided by the actual aperture in the same units.
		An extreme wideangle lens of large aperture must be of very complex construction to correct for optical aberrations, which are worse at the edge of the field and when the edge of a large lens is used for image-forming.

	Contact lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intraocular contact lenses, also known as an implantable contact lenses, are special small corrective lenses surgically implanted in the eye's posterior chamber behind the iris and in front of the lens to correct higher amounts of myopia and hyperopia.
		Contact lenses usually serve the same corrective purpose as conventional glasses, but are lightweight and virtually invisible—many commercial lenses are tinted a faint blue for visibility.
		Before touching the contact lens or one's eyes, it is important to thoroughly wash and rinse hands with a soap that does not contain moisturizers or allergens such as fragrances.

	Focal length - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For a diverging lens (e.g., a concave lens), the focal length is negative, and is the distance from the lens to the point at which a collimated beam appears to be emerging from after passing through the lens.
		For a converging lens (e.g., a convex lens), the focal length is positive, and is the distance from the lens at which a beam of collimated light will be focused to a single spot.
		The focal length of a lens is the distance along the optical axis from the lens to the focus (or focal point).

	Gravitational lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gravitational lens is formed when the light from a very distant, bright source (such as a quasar) is "bent" around a massive object (such as a massive galaxy) between the source object and the observer.
		This gravitational lens was discovered accidentally by Dennis Walsh, Bob Carswell, and Ray Weymann using the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1 meter telescope.
		The process is known as gravitational lensing, and is one of the predictions of Albert Einstein's general relativity theory.

	Electrostatic lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An electrostatic lens is a lens that transports electrons emitted from a sample to an electron analyser.
		There are several types of electrostatic lenses: cylinder lenses, aperture lenses, and quadrupole lenses.
		Systems of electrostatic lenses can be designed in the same way as optical lenses, so electrostatic lenses easily magnify or converge the electron trajectories.
