Example types with defocus

The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:

Short example sentences

Optically, as a lens is stopped down, the defocus blur at the Depth of Field (DOF) limits decreases but diffraction blur increases. (22 words)

Optimal f -number seeAlso As a lens is stopped down, the defocus blur at the DOF limits decreases but diffraction blur increases. (22 words)

At the DOF limits, however, further stopping down decreases the size of the defocus blur spot, and the overall sharpness may still increase. (23 words)

Longer example sentences

Determining combined defocus and diffraction Hansma (1996) and Peterson (1996) have discussed determining the combined effects of defocus and diffraction using a root-square combination of the individual blur spots. (30 words)

The increase of the circle diameter with defocus is gradual, so the limits of depth of field are not hard boundaries between sharp and unsharp. (25 words)

Eventually, the defocus blur spot becomes negligibly small, and further stopping down serves only to decrease sharpness even at DOF limits (Gibson 1975, 64). (24 words)
