ABSTRACT

To reduce the f-number, the front element is often split into two positive lenses. Another modification involves the splitting of the rear element into a cemented negative–positive lens. The Tessar lens is a modification in which both front and rear elements are split into cemented negative–positive assemblies. The Heliar lens is still another modification and is shown in Figure 4.1; details are given in Table 4.1. The lens in the figure is f/5 with a 20° field of view (FOV), and has a focal length of 10. Visual region. Figure 4.2 shows a 4-inch focal length,f/4.5 Tessar lens. It covers an image field of 3.0 in diameter; details are given in Table 4.2.
