What
is a Lens?
Lens is basically used to focus an image onto the sensor in a camera.
All cameras have fixed sensor size. This means that no matter how large
the image is at the sensor plane, the camera will only “look
at” the portion of the subject equal to the sensor size. What
the camera “sees” is called the field of view. The
lens, or lens system, of the camera controls the magnification at the
camera sensor.
There
are many types of lenses. Some of the common categories of lenses are:
CCTV, FA, Large format, Telecentric and Microscopic. These lenses have
different functions and are therefore application specific.
