Parfocal lens Lens

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 10:22 am

A parfocal lens is a microscope objective or camera lens that stays approximately in focus when the magnification is changed. For example, if a microscope is switched from a low power objective (10×) to a higher power one (40× or 43×), the object stays in focus. Similarly, in professional cameras (as well as some compact ones, such as the EX-S770), the object remains in focus as the zoom changes.

A parfocal lens is not present in most light microscopes, although higher quality light microscopes may possess one.
