The aperture is the opening created by a set of overlapping metal blades, known as the diaphragm, inside a photographic lens. This opening controls the amount of light coming through the lens. The wider the aperture, the less depth of field you capture. The smaller the aperture, the deeper the depth of field.

Distance to subject refers to the length between the camera and the focus of the image. The closer the camera is to the subject it is focusing on, the narrower the depth of field will be. Inversely, the farther away the subject is from the camera, the wider the depth of field will be.

Types of objective lenses

Depth of field (DoF) is the area between the nearest and farthest points from the camera that are acceptably sharp in an image. A deep DoF means all or most of your photo will be in focus, including the foreground, subject and background. Use a deep DoF in group photos, landscape shots and when elements in the background or foreground add to the message the photo is attempting to communicate. A shallow DoF means more narrow range will be acceptably sharp in the image. Shallow DoF is good to use when you want to isolate your subject from their surroundings, such as in a portrait or when elements in the background or foreground may be distracting.

Microscope objective lenses will often have four numbers engraved on the barrel in a 2x2 array. The upper left number is the magnification factor of the objective. For example, 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x.The upper right number is the numerical aperture of the objective. For example 0.1, 0.25, 0.65, and 1.25.

You can affect the depth of field by changing the following factors: aperture, the focal length and the distance from the subject.

The lower right number (if given) refers to the thickness of the glass cover slip (in millimeters) assumed by the lens designer for best performance of the objective. Example: 0.17.The lower left number is the tube length in millimeters. This is related to the standardization of microscopes and the particular standard used for the manufacture of your microscope. Most microscopes employ the Deutsche Industrie Norm, or DIN standard configuration. The Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) is less commonly used. DIN microscopes begin with an object-to-image distance of 195 mm, and then fix the object distance at 45 mm. The remaining 150 mm distance to the eyepiece field lens sets the internal real image position, which is defined as 10 mm from the end of the mechanical tube (which gives the 160 mm tube length). DIN standard eyepieces have an international standard 23 mm diameter. DIN standard objectives often times have "DIN" etched on the side and have a standard 0.7965 in diameter thread, 36 TPI, 55° Whitworth threading. Celestron microscopes are made to DIN standards. The tube length for the DIN standard is 160 mm, while for the JIS it is 170 mm.NOTE: JIS objectives can be used on a DIN microscope and vice versa. The threads on both types are interchangeable. However, since the optical distances are different, there will be a difference in magnification. A JIS objective used on a DIN microscope will have a slightly lower magnification than the rated magnification since the DIN tube is shorter. And a DIN objective used on a JIS microscope will have a slightly higher magnification than the rated magnification since the JIS tube is longer.

The following graphic illustrates how changing these factors: aperture, focal length and the distance from the subject affect the depth of field.

The focal length of the lens determines the image magnification. The wider the lens, the shorter the focal length. This allows you to capture a wider depth of field. The longer or more zoomed in the camera lens, the less depth of field you capture.
