The basic concept behind the extended depth of field is that a specially designed phase plate is inserted at the back aperture of the microscope objecive. The phase plate creates a uniquely shaped PSF ...

Guide to depth of field designed for those new to self-shooting, covering focus, focussing distance, focal length, aperture and sensor. The depth of field in an image is the distance between the ...

Lens The lens and aperture are key factors in determining depth of field. Lenses are known by their focal lengths - 14mm, 50mm, 200mm. Their role is to bend the rays of light that enter through ...

The wider the aperture (the smaller the f-stop number), elements in front of and behind the object in focus appear soft or blurry. In both moving and still pictures, depth of field (DOF ...
