Visual Impairment 2- Magnification Flashcards
What are the 4 ways to enlarge retinal image size?
Relative Size magnifiction
Relative Distance Magnification
Angular Magnification
Real image/ Transverse Magnification
What are the advantages to making objects bigger? (RSM)
No training required
Less conspicuous
No change in habitual posture
Patient can plan themselves
What are the downsides to enlarging objects?
More cumbersome
Limited mag
Loose contrast i.e. enlarging by photocopying
How do we work out magnification when changing the relative distance?
M= OLD obj dist/ NEW obj dist
What does angular magnification refer to?
Telescopes
Mag= instrument image/obj (s telescopes)
What are some examples of real/transverse imaging?
CCTV
TV screens
What formula would be used if different magnification were used with one another?
Total mag= relative SIZE mag X relative DIST mag
What are the 2 different types of telescopes?
Keplerian/ astronomical
Galilean
Which telescope uses prism to create correct inverted image?
Keplerian
Which telescope uses 1 convex and 1 concave lens?
Galilean
How high can the magnification go on a keplerian compared to a galilean?
Keplerian upto 10x
Galilean up to 4x
Where is the exit pupil located in a keplerian compared to a galilean?
Keplerian external
Galilean internal
What is the field size on keplerian compared to a galilean?
Keplerian larger
Galilean smaller
Between an eye piece and objective lens which is stronger powered in astronomical?
Eye piece
How would you work out the magnification in a telescope
M= diam of OBJ LENS/ diam of EXIT PUPIL
