Lens (hydrology) due to an increase in cyclone-generated wave washover, rendering many islands uninhabitable with the loss of potable water. Lens (hydrology) In hydrology, a lens, also called freshwater lens or Ghyben-Herzberg lens, is a convex-shaped layer of fresh groundwater that floats above the denser saltwater, usually found on small coral or limestone islands and atolls. This aquifer of fresh water is recharged through precipitation that infiltrates the top layer of soil and percolates downwards until it reaches the saturated zone. The recharge rate of the lens can be summarized by the following equation: R = P - ET Where R is
Telecentric lens (or "collimated") illuminators, which produce a parallel light flow, often from LED sources. An image-space (or image-side) telecentric lens produces images of the same size regardless of the distance between the lens and the film or image sensor. This allows the lens to be focused to different distances without changing the size of the image. Image-space telecentric lenses have an exit pupil infinitely far in front of the lens; that is, if one looks in the back of the lens, the image of the aperture is very far away. At the film or image sensor, all of the chief rays
