FORENSIC MIDTERM Flashcards
A positive lens that is thicker on the middle than the edge. It also creates a real image.
CONVEX LENS
It is the most important and essential part of the camera.
LENS
A negative lens that is thinner on the middle than the edge and creates virtual image.
CONCAVE LENS
A complex aberration that affects only light rays from a point that pass through the lens at an angle.
COMA
A color distortion that creates an outline of unwanted color along the edges of objects in a photograph
CHROMATIC ABERRATION
Occurs when the lens fails to focus image lines running in different directions in the same plane.
ASTIGMATISM
The image of a flat subject does not
appear flat because of the sharpness of the center and the edge is out of focus.
CURVATURE OF FIELD
When the outer parts of a lens do
not bring light rays into the same
focus as the central part.
SPHERICAL ABERRATION
Three (3) types of distortion.
BARREL, PINCUSHION, AND MUSTACHE
An optical aberration induced by the composition of the lens.
DISTORTION
Created by the curved shape of the lens.
BARREL DISTORTION
Is a lens effect that causes images to
become pinched in the center and the most often associate with telephoto lenses.
PINCUSHION DISTORTION
The straight lines of an image bend outward from the centre, and then inward from the corners of the frame.
MUSTACHE DISTORTION
Six (6) types of lens aberration.
ASTIGMATISM, CHROMATIC ABERRATION, SPHERICAL ABERRATION, COMA, CURVATURE OF FIELD, AND DISTORTION
What are the types of correctional lens?
ACHROMATIC LENS, RAPID-RECTILINEAR LENS, ANASTIGMAT LENS, AND APOCHROMATIC LENS
Corrected for: distortion
RAPID-RECTILINEAR LENS
Corrected for: astigmatism but with
higher degree of correction to
color.
APOCHROMATIC LENS
Corrected for: chromatic aberration
ACHROMATIC LENS
Corrected for: astigmatism
as well as the other lens
defect
ANASTIGMAT LENS
Tells us the angle
of view—how much of the scene
will be captured—and
the magnification—how large
individual elements will be.
FOCAL LENGTH
It is how much of a scene is in sharp focus.
DEPTH OF FIELD
Is related to focal length but
is not dependent on it.
FOCAL DISTANCE
Taking a magnified photograph of small object through attaching a camera to the ocular of a compound microscope so as to show a minute details of the physical evidence.
MICRO PHOTOGRAPHY
Close-up photography, is used to capture small objects, such as trace evidence or tool marks in which their size is bigger than their actual size.
MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
