Longer focal length = Narrower field of view Field of View (FOV): Image area expressed as rectangular dimensions: H x V, or angularly Horizontal degrees x Vertical degrees, or diagonal measurement Lens Sensor Size: Size of image projected at the focal point of the lens. Sensor size should be >= camera sensor size. Uses Single measurements: ½”, 2/3”, 1” etc. Working Distance (WD): Distance from front of lens to object under inspection. Depth of Field (DoF): The distance from the front of your focus area to the back of your focus area Magnification: (Sensor Size)/(FOV) Higher magnification means your spreading a small image over a large sensor Telecentric lens: A type of lens used for measurement applications that has low distortion, fixed working distance, and fixed magnification. CCTV Lens: Fixed angular field of view, ability to adjust working distance giving you different rectangular fields of view. Good for low light applications with larger FOVs.

6
strictly confidential Introduction to Lenses 07/28/2015: Copyright @ 2014 Applied Core Technology Inc., All Rights 6 Lens Sensor Size Size of Image projected at the back of the lens. Larger sensor size means larger FOV Must be greater than or equal to camera sensor size.

9
strictly confidential Introduction to Lenses 07/28/2015: Copyright @ 2014 Applied Core Technology Inc., All Rights 9 Aperture (f/) Expressed as ratio of focal length to effective aperture diameter Smaller aperture diameter = Longer depth of field Smaller aperture diameter = Less light (signal) Smaller aperture = larger Airy Disk due to diffraction
