A microlens is a small lens, generally with a diameter less than a millimetre (mm) and often as small as 10 micrometres (Âµm). The small sizes of the lenses means that a simple design can give good optical quality but sometimes unwanted effects arise due to optical diffraction at the small features. A typical microlens may be a single element with one plane surface and one spherical convex surface to refract the light.
Definition of PRODUCTION CURVE. : a curve plotted to show the relation between quantities produced during definite consecutive time intervals.ADVERTISEMENT.his word doesn't usually appear in our free dictionary, but the definition from our premium Unabridged Dictionary is offered here on a limited basis.
Since the production possibilities frontier represents all of the points where all resources are being used efficiently, it must be the case that this economy has to produce fewer guns if it wants to produce more butter, and vice versa. The slope of the production possibilities frontier represents the magnitude of this tradeoff. For example, in moving from the top left point to the next point down the curve, the economy has to give up production of 10 guns if it wants to produce 100 more pounds of butter. 1  Not coincidentally, the average slope of the PPF over this region is (190-200)/(100-0) = -10/100, or -1/10.
