  • Breaking Down the “Cosine Fourth Power Law”
    Breaking Down The “Cosine Fourth Power Law” By Ronian Siew, inopticalsolutions.com Why are the corners of the field of view in the image captured by a camera lens usually darker than the center? For one thing, camera lenses by design often introduce “vignetting” into the image, which is the deliberate clipping of rays at the corners of the field of view in order to cut away excessive lens aberrations. But, it is also known that corner areas in an image can get dark even without vignetting, due in part to the so-called “cosine fourth power law.” 1 According to this “law,” when a lens projects the image of a uniform source onto a screen, in the absence of vignetting, the illumination flux density (i.e., the optical power per unit area) across the screen from the center to the edge varies according to the fourth power of the cosine of the angle between the optic axis and the oblique ray striking the screen. Actually, optical designers know this “law” does not apply generally to all lens conditions.2 – 10 Fundamental principles of optical radiative flux transfer in lens systems allow one to tune the illumination distribution across the image by varying lens design characteristics. In this article, we take a tour into the fascinating physics governing the illumination of images in lens systems. Relative Illumination In Lens Systems In lens design, one characterizes the illumination distribution across the screen where the image resides in terms of a quantity known as the lens’ relative illumination — the ratio of the irradiance (i.e., the power per unit area) at any off-axis position of the image to the irradiance at the center of the image.

  • Moving Pictures: the History of Early Cinema by Brian Manley
    Discovery Guides Moving Pictures: The History of Early Cinema By Brian Manley Introduction The history of film cannot be credited to one individual as an oversimplification of any his- tory often tries to do. Each inventor added to the progress of other inventors, culminating in progress for the entire art and industry. Often masked in mystery and fable, the beginnings of film and the silent era of motion pictures are usually marked by a stigma of crudeness and naiveté, both on the audience's and filmmakers' parts. However, with the landmark depiction of a train hurtling toward and past the camera, the Lumière Brothers’ 1895 picture “La Sortie de l’Usine Lumière à Lyon” (“Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory”), was only one of a series of simultaneous artistic and technological breakthroughs that began to culminate at the end of the nineteenth century. These triumphs that began with the creation of a machine that captured moving images led to one of the most celebrated and distinctive art forms at the start of the 20th century. Audiences had already reveled in Magic Lantern, 1818, Musée des Arts et Métiers motion pictures through clever uses of slides http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Magic-lantern.jpg and mechanisms creating "moving photographs" with such 16th-century inventions as magic lanterns. These basic concepts, combined with trial and error and the desire of audiences across the world to see entertainment projected onto a large screen in front of them, birthed the movies. From the “actualities” of penny arcades, the idea of telling a story in order to draw larger crowds through the use of differing scenes began to formulate in the minds of early pioneers such as Georges Melies and Edwin S.

  • NASA Celebrates Voyager and NASA IBEX Study Reveals New Dynamics of the Heliospheric Boundary
    NASA Celebrates Voyager and NASA IBEX Study Reveals New Dynamics of the Heliospheric Boundary September 5, 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the 1977 Voyager 1 spacecraft launch. Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977. Although Voyager 1 was launched a few weeks after Voyager 2, it quickly sped ahead of Voyager 2 in space and today is the farthest spacecraft from Earth at 13 billion miles. Voyager 2 is the second farthest, with both spacecraft venturing where no human-made object has ever gone: into interstellar space. Voyager 1 is already outside the heliosphere. Voyager 2 is not far behind, approaching the heliopause, the critical boundary separating the solar wind from interstellar space. The NASA Heliophysics Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, launched in 2008, is the first spacecraft designed to collect data across the entire sky about the heliosphere and the solar system’s boundary with interstellar space. A recent analysis of IBEX data has shown how the heliosphere “reacts” to the changes in polar coronal holes, which change in size with the 11-year solar cycle. A study by a team of scientists led by Dr. Eric Zirnstein of Princeton University analyzed IBEX observations of Energetic Neutral Atoms (ENAs) collected between 2009 and 2015 over a range of energies (speeds of ~350 to 900 km/s). The team was able to track the Sun’s polar winds as they traveled out to the outer heliosphere, where they interacted with hydrogen atoms, creating ENA’s speeding back into the heliosphere towards the Sun. Analysis of IBEX data reveals it takes the solar wind near the Sun around two to three years to travel out to the heliosphere and then back toward the Sun to be seen in the data as ENAs.

  • Photographic Printing Enlarger
    Photographic printing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Photographic printing is the process of producing a final image on paper for viewing, using chemically sensitized paper. The paper is exposed to a photographic negative, a positive transparency (or slide), or a digital image file projected using an enlarger or digital exposure unit such as a LightJet printer. Alternatively, the negative or transparency may be placed atop the paper and directly exposed, creating a contact print. Photographs are more commonly printed on plain paper, for example by a color printer, but this is not considered "photographic printing". Following exposure, the paper is processed to reveal and make permanent the latent image. Printing on black-and-white paper The process consists of four major steps, performed in a photographic darkroom or within an automated photo printing machine. These steps are: Exposure of the image onto the sensitized paper using a contact printer or enlarger; Processing of the latent image using the following chemical process: o Development of the exposed image reduces the silver halide in the latent image to metallic silver; o Stopping development by neutralising, diluting or removing the developing chemicals; o Fixing the image by dissolving undeveloped silver halide from the light-sensitive emulsion: o Washing thoroughly to remove processing chemicals protects the finished print from fading and deterioration. Optionally, after fixing, the print is treated with a hypo clearing agent to ensure complete removal of the fixer, which would otherwise compromise the long term stability of the image. Prints can be chemically toned or hand coloured after processing.[ Enlarger From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An enlarger is a specialized transparency projector used to produce photographic prints from film or glass negatives using the gelatin silver process, or from transparencies.
