If object and planar convex lens 5 being bonded on tightly, the big or small simple formula of this vision imaging is as follows
1/S′+1/S=1/f (e)
S and S ' represent image and the object distance to planar convex lens respectively among the figure, and the radius on plane is not have to study carefully greatly, and the radius of lens (R2) promptly is-r.
The refractive index of supposing this plane optical loupes is n=1.5, center thickness d=2cm, the radius R 2=10cm of convex lens.H (anchor point that refers to image) and H ' (anchor point that refers to object) can calculate from following formula:
Lh=fd(n-1)/nR1,Lh=fd(n-1)/nR2(g)
H and h ' are respectively h and the h ' distances to planar convex lens.Simply be expressed as follows:
Lh=d/n=4/3 ' and Lh '=0 (because R1=∞)
Utilize aforesaid formula.Then draw the focal length of plane optical loupes, as follows:
1/f=n-1/r=(1.5-1)/10=1/20 (h)
Therefore focal length is 20cm as can be known.When this folding display screen is fastened the plane (r=∞).Then S=Lh=d/n, so S ' value also can be derived: 1 S ′ + 1 4 / 3 = 1 20 - - - - - - ( i )
Then ' S '=10/7
Drawing enlargement factor is m=s '/s (10/7) (30/28) ≈ 1.07
