Discovering Imaging Fundamentals

June 21, 2024

Imaging lies at the heart of various disciplines, be it photography, microscopy, or scientific research reliant on optical instruments. These fundamental concepts serve as the cornerstone upon which more intricate ideas are built. Field of view (FOV), working distance (WD), resolution, depth of field (DOF), sensor size (H), pixel size (s), and magnification (m) stand pivotal in understanding the capabilities and limitations of imaging systems. Whether capturing sweeping landscapes, exploring microscopic realms, or advancing scientific inquiry, mastering these concepts empowers users to optimize their equipment and achieve desired outcomes.
