FOCUS TO 2× (PATENT)

Focus Mechanism

PUBLISHED: the patent prints four states (infinity, 0.5×, 1× and 2×). G2 moves toward the image and G3 toward the object as focus closes. Distance labels are derived from the paraxial magnification of each printed state, not from printed object distances; between the printed states the gaps are interpolated linearly, which is not a verified focus cam. The iris is sized at infinity and held fixed, so the patent's finite-state f-numbers are not imposed. At 1× and 2× some analysis panels trace few rays or fall back to collimated light.
