No and no.

And BTW the Illuminati are not behind the climate change hoax, there
is no such thing as perpetual motion, and the rapture isn't happening

You may try finding reasons why full spectrum light is more healthful
than monochromatic or RGB phosphors. That's still scientifically
plausible. (I think...)

nope. depth of field is a function of physical aperture.

what you describe is f/stop, which is used for exposure purposes, and
in some cases (usually movies), t/stops are used, which is actual light
transmission through the lens, not a simple ratio.

That's an interesting viewpoint.

for the same subject size and same image quality (coc), no.

not really. it's just math.

That is correct. For any given focal length, the smaller the aperature, the
greater the depth of field. That is why pinhole cameras focus from closeup
to infinity without a lens.

No matter what the focal length of the lense is, the further away the
focal plane is, the greater the depth of field will be for any aperature.

As an example, if one is taking a head and shoulders portrait with a
large aperature, it is quite likely that part of the subject will be out
of focus slighty. Moving back a few feet with the same lense and
aperature will result in a deeper depth of field, so that all of the
subject should be in focus. The drawback is that the image size will be
smaller, and thus require more enlargement to obtain the same size image,
with the resulting loss of resolution with the enlarged image.

transmission through the lens, not a simple ratio.

For an ideal optical system, the depth of _focus_ (on the image side) is
a function only of wavelength and numerical aperture, i.e. the sine of
the half-angle of the cone defined by the rim rays (i.e. the illuminated
cone). That's where wave properties come in.

On the object side, the depth of _field_ equals the depth of focus
scaled by the square of the magnification. Magnification is of course
the ratio of the object distance to the image distance.

Aberrated optical systems degrade a bit more slowly because they're not
as good to begin with.

Blue light is bad for your eyes. that includes monitors and leds.
They suggest making sure you have UV blocking glasses at all times and
blue blocking glasses too.

I expect that's true to some extent. Fluorescent light and sunlight
is bad for beer, and anything that's bad for beer...

Some quack made the rounds of the place I was working trying to sell
us, or sell the guy handling maintenance of our buildings, on the idea
that switching to these ghastly super "cold" (high color/temperature)
fluorescent lights would improve visual acuity and were more
efficient. (lumens/watt)

I was a guinea pig and got them in my office and workshop. They may
have improved acuity slightly, but they weren't what we were used to
and very unpleasant to work under. I switched the lights back to
"daylight" ones and put the kibosh on the salesman's dreams.

They were thinking of switching the chemistry labs over to the new
lights. We tested drugs that degraded in fluorescent lighting - in
fact it was one part of our degradation studies: subject the drugs
and packaging to bright fluorescent lights, high temperature, and high
humidity to come up with practical expiration dates on pharmaceutical
products.

The instruments I worked on contained deuterium light sources (a full
spectrum light that went into the "vacuum UV range," very short
wavelengths are absorbed by air) Not something you want your eyes
exposed to. Quartz glass passes short wave UV, borosilicate glass
passes light in the near-ultraviolet range. Plastic tends to absorb
UV so I'd use plastic safety glasses around the exposed light sources.
We scanned them in one of our scanning spectrophotometers to determine
the UV cut-off before hand.

Strong UV light also produces ozone, so for health reasons I tried to
minimize exposure.

If they were really that bad, shouldn't all eye-glasses have blocked
them by default?

Legislation or regulatory action?

I don't see why not legislation and regulation is the solutions to all
problems. ;-)

Not necessarily. It is a perfect example of capitalism and marketing.
You create the need (using fear as the motivator in this case) then
sell the solution.

Oops. I forgot, they already did it:

"The BluBlocker experience all starts when you first put on a pair.
The world will change and you'll never want to go back to ordinary
sunglasses again. The high-definition Malenium lenses block 100% of UV
and blue light, giving you a level of protection and clarity that only
BluBlocker sunglasses provide."

"Why is Blocking Blue Light So Important?

Blue light doesn't focus on the retina which is the focusing screen of
the eye whereas other colors focus close to the retina. When you
"block blue light" with BluBlocker sunglasses you eliminate this
problem. Objects appear clearer, sharper, and well defined. You get
amazing clarity and the best protection with BluBlocker's
high-definition Malenium lenses."

I think Malenium is right next to Unobtanium in the periodic chart; it
is really good shit and very, very exclusive...

Other than kids, I think grown-up eyes should really avoid too much blue
and UV light.

Is this OK? I've not used a o-c before. I want a positive going edge
to trigger a CMOS logic one-shot (Schmitt trigger input). The o-c is a
FOD817 if it matters. Thanks

That looks fine.

FOD817 has 50-150% current transfer ratio
( https://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/product.do?id=FOD817 )

So, with 3mA in you can expect at-least 1.5mA out,
with the output being 10K and 12V that means the output will be
saturated, and thus sutable for driving CMOS logic.

Thanks. Arduino apparently uses C++, although the book I’m using, ‘Programming Arduino: (Second Edition)‘ by Simon Monks, mainly covers C. I gather that is adequate for relatively simple sketches.

Are you an Arduino user?
