什么是 Reduced eye?

Definition 4.1 University Physics — Year 1 · 第 4 章 — Optical Instruments and the Eye

The reduced eye models the cornea and the crystalline lens as a single thin converging lens of variable focal length, and the retina as a screen at a fixed distance d≈17 mmd \approx 17\,\mathrm{mm} behind it. Muscles change the lens’s curvature to keep the image of the object looked at on the retina: this is accommodation. The iris in front of the lens is a variable aperture of diameter 2 2\, to 8 mm8\,\mathrm{mm}, the pupil.

示例

Example 4.3 (The eye’s vergence)

Distant object: image at d=17 mmd = 17\,\mathrm{mm} means f′=17 mmf' = 17\,\mathrm{mm}, V=1/0.017=59 δV = 1/0.017 = 59\,\delta. Object at 25 cm25\,\mathrm{cm}: V=1/0.017+1/0.25=59+4=63 δV = 1/0.017 + 1/0.25 = 59 + 4 = 63\,\delta. Four diopters of accommodation out of sixty: the crystalline lens adds only a few percent to the cornea’s job, but those few percent are everything for reading.

Example 4.9 (A watchmaker’s loupe)

f′=25 mmf' = 25\,\mathrm{mm}: G=250/25=10G = 250/25 = 10, sold as “10×10\times”. A 0.05 mm0.05\,\mathrm{mm} detail then subtends 2×10−3 rad2 \times 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{rad}, comfortably resolved. Pushing GG higher means f′f' of a few millimeters, a tiny lens held against the eye — the limit of the single lens, and the reason the microscope exists.
