Difference between Distortion (optics) and Lens (optics)

Distortion (optics) vs. Lens (optics)

In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image. A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.

Similarities between Distortion (optics) and Lens (optics)

Distortion (optics) and Lens (optics) have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Binoculars, Cardinal point (optics), Magnification, Optical aberration, Optical axis.

Binoculars

Binoculars or field glasses are two telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects.

Cardinal point (optics)

In Gaussian optics, the cardinal points consist of three pairs of points located on the optical axis of a rotationally symmetric, focal, optical system.

Magnification

Magnification is the process of enlarging the appearance, not physical size, of something.

Optical aberration

Aberration in optics refers to a defect in a lens such that light is not focused to a point, but is spread out over some region of space, and hence an image formed by a lens with aberration is blurred or distorted, with the nature of the distortion depending on the type of aberration.

Optical axis

An optical axis is a line along which there is some degree of rotational symmetry in an optical system such as a camera lens or microscope.
