depth of focus
depth of focus n (Photography) the amount by which the distance between the camera lens and the film can be altered without the resulting image appearing blurred. Compare depth of field Translationsdepth of focus
depth of focus[¦depth əv ′fō·kəs] (optics) The range of image distances corresponding to the range of object distances included in depth of field. depth of focus
fo·cal depth , depth of focusthe greatest distance through which an object point can be moved while maintaining a clear image. Synonym(s): penetration (3) fo·cal depth , depth of focus (fō'kăl depth, fō'kŭs) The greatest distance through which an object point can be moved while remaining in focus. depth of focusFor a given setting of an optical system (or a steady state of accommodation of the eye) it is the distance in front and behind the focal point (or retina) over which the image may be focused without causing a sharpness reduction beyond a certain tolerable amount. (The criterion could be as much as a line of letters on a Snellen chart.) The depth of focus D is represented by the total distance in front and behind (Fig. D1). As with depth of field, it is inversely proportional to the diameter of the diaphragm (or pupil). It can be calculated, expressed in dioptres, using the equationD = (2b/p)Fewhere Fe is the power of the emmetropic eye, p the pupillary diameter and b the maximum size of the retinal image beyond which it is perceived as blurred. Example: Assuming a pupil of 3 mm and a retinal image spread over five cones, each 0.002 mm in diameter and spaces between the cones of 0.0005 mm, that is a total size = 0.012 mm, D = 2 ✕ 0.012/3 ✕ 60 = 0.48 D. Thus an object appears clear if the vergence at the eye varies in the range ±0.24 D. If the eye is focused at infinity, the equation becomes D = (b/p) Fe.
