Seems to me the result of method 2 will depend on the size of the mesh of the screen. I mean the size of the solid material making up the mesh and the size of the gaps in the mesh. As you step back away from the screen the apparent size of the gaps you can see through get smaller and there will...- Troubador

This is how Zeiss's FL 8x32 became a 10x32 and why it was never claimed that FL 10x32 had a field flattener: because the Barlow was there to lift the magnification not to flatten the field. Lee- Troubador

It is instructive, I think, that different kinds of eyes have evolved in different creatures. For example the complex compound eyes of insects or the simple single-lensed eyes of humans. Some eyes merely detect light rather than create an image and even the simple eyes of higher animals can...- Troubador

Doesn't Henry's description already explain this? My understanding is the binocular presents to the eye a single distance at a time with its associated depth of field and the eye can only accomodate and examine this image. To examine other objects at different distances the binocular has to have...- Troubador

Autofocus is a huge boon to photography and I couldn't have taken the photo below without it. But photos like this and photos of birds are deceptive because they don't reveal how many times the autofocus focused on vegetation in front of the bird or insect, vegetation that in your concentration...- Troubador

One reason is because there is no such thing as 'the eye', as in one eye that everyone has two of and which all perform in an identical way. The power of accommodation varies from person to person and is certainly age-dependent. Lee- Troubador

New Horizons II
Why We Focus Binos I can think of two reasons why we have to change distance on which our binos are focussed. Firstly, lets imagine our bins are luckily focussed on the middle distance and this is where the birds are. But then a new bird flies into the scene and is either beyond the current...- Troubador

This effect is present in binoculars too and reduces as magnification is reduced and this contributes to the spaciousness of the view through 7x binoculars because not only is there a bigger depth of field, there is a bigger perceived space between objects positioned one behind the other.
