Axial Magnification Basic Optics, Chapter 21
2
Axial Magnification We saw in Chapter 20 that transverse mag addresses the relative heights of an image and object But what about changes in the ‘fore and aft’ (i.e., along the lens axis) relative sizes? This is captured by axial magnification

Axial Magnification Note the addition of an axial component
to the object (and therefore image) Thin plus lens Image Object F1 N F2

You will recall that transverse mag is defined as:
Axial Magnification Image height Object height You will recall that transverse mag is defined as: Thin plus lens Object height Image Object F1 N F2 Image height

You will recall that transverse mag is defined as:
Axial Magnification Image height Object height You will recall that transverse mag is defined as: Image width Object width Likewise, axial magnification is defined as: Object width Thin plus lens Object height Image Object F1 N F2 Image height Image width
