How does Scheimpflug imaging work?

The rotational Scheimpflug camera takes up to 50 cross-sectional images on an angle from 0 to 180° in a single scan, acquiring 25 000 data points in approximately 2 seconds. The second camera is static and used to monitor eye fixation and detects pupil size.

What is the plane of focus?

The plane of focus is a two-dimensional ‘plane’ in front of the camera at the point of focus. This plane will give you the sharpest focus at a particular depth of field. This is an imaginary plane and lies parallel to the camera sensor, (unless using a something like a tilt-shift lens.

What does a tilt lens do?

A tilt-shift lens (also called a perspective control lens) changes the position of a lens in relation to a camera’s image sensor. When the lens tilts so that it is no longer parallel to the camera’s image sensor, it shifts the plane of focus and alters the depth of field.

How does aperture affect depth of field?

The aperture is the opening created by a set of overlapping metal blades, known as the diaphragm, inside a photographic lens. This opening controls the amount of light coming through the lens. The wider the aperture, the less depth of field you capture. The smaller the aperture, the deeper the depth of field.

How is forme Fruste keratoconus diagnosed?

The diagnosis of forme fruste keratoconus is topographic. I use patterns of topography that have been described by Rabinowitz1 and Binder et al2 to diagnose forme fruste keratoconus. These patterns include inferior steepening and asymmetric bow ties with a skewed radial axis.

What is corneal topography used for?

Corneal topography produces a detailed, visual description of the shape and power of the cornea. This type of analysis provides your doctor with very fine details regarding the condition of the corneal surface. These details are used to diagnose, monitor, and treat various eye conditions.

Why is focal plane important?

One of the most important aspects, when you buy a lens, is the focal length. This lets you know how close you need to be in relation to the subject you are capturing. A longer focal length is necessary for objects further away. A smaller focal length captures more of the scene in front of you.

What is focal plane in focus?

The focal plane is the distance between your camera lens and the perfect point of focus in an image. This area is located a certain distance in front of your camera lens, and spans horizontally, left to right across your frame.

What is the effect of tilt-shift?

The tilt effect alters the focal plane of the image, but the shift effect alters an image’s perspective. With the Shift knob, you can move the lens up and down or side to side on the body of the camera. As the lens moves, the image plane moves too, so that the sensor records different areas of the total image.

What is tilt and shift in well Foundation?

When the well is moved away horizontally from the desired position, it is called shifting of the well foundation. When the well is sloped against vertical alignment, it is called tilting of the well foundation.

How does an aperture work?

Aperture controls the brightness of the image that passes through the lens and falls on the image sensor. The higher the f-number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that passes through the lens; the lower the f-number, the larger the aperture and the more light that passes through the lens.

Where is the aperture located?

Where is it? In modern SLR, DSLR and mirrorless cameras, the aperture is located between the elements of the lens. It’s created by a mechanism called a diaphragm that controls the size of the opening, much like the iris of your eye. That’s what you’re controlling when you make an aperture adjustment.
