unusual facts about Aperture



Adrian Steirn

The unique perspective of each image is obtained by his choice of lens, aperture, ISO and composition whilst preserving the integrity of the original image.

Alexander Aubert

Amongst the latter were a Dollond 46-inch achromatic, aperture 3¾ inches, and the one Cassegrain reflector constructed by Short, of 24 inches focus and 6 aperture, known among opticians as 'Short's Dumpy.'

Anomphalidae

Turbinopsis, from the Lower Devonian of North America, was removed from the Palaeotrochidae (Palaeotrochacea); has a spiral chord not found on typical Anomphalidae and an aperture with a thicker, wider lip, also atypical.

Aperture grille

The vertical wires of the aperture grille have a resonant frequency and will vibrate in sympathetic resonance with loud sounds near the display, resulting in fluttering and shimmering of colors on the display.

Assistant director

If the Director does not want another take, the AD will call "Check the gate" (a signal for the Focus puller or Camera Assistant to confirm that the camera has not malfunctioned during a take, and that there is no hair or fluff in the aperture ("gate") where the film is exposed).

Canon EF 40mm lens

The Canon EF 40mm lens is a standard prime lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 featuring Canon's new stepping motor (STM) technology.

Canon FD 200 mm lens

These spanned two generations (FD and New FD) and varied by aperture and macro ability.

Canon PowerShot G

The G series offers features such as the use of a lithium-ion battery, an articulated LCD screen (G7, G9, G10 and G15 have a fixed panel), Raw image format capture (all models except G7), a lens with a wider maximum aperture than standard PowerShot models, remote capture (except G11), and faster electronics.

Catadioptric system

The idea of replacing the complicated Schmidt corrector plate with an easy to manufacture full aperture spherical meniscus lens (a meniscus corrector shell) to create a wide field telescope occurred to at least 4 optical designers in early 1940s war-torn Europe, including Albert Bouwers (1940), Dmitri Dmitrievich Maksutov (1941), K. Penning, and Dennis Gabor (1941).

DF-21

Such a missile may have been tested in 2005-6, and the launch of the Jianbing-5/YaoGan-1 and Jianbing-6/YaoGan-2 satellites would give the Chinese targeting information from SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and visual imaging respectively.

Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex

Goldstone antennas have also been used as sensitive radio telescopes for such scientific investigations as mapping quasars and other celestial radio sources; radar mapping planets, the Moon, comets and asteroids; spotting comets and asteroids with the potential to strike Earth; and the search for ultra-high energy neutrino interactions in the moon by using large-aperture radio antennas.

Jena Lacomis Garcia

Educated as a Traveling Exhibitions Assistant in Aperture's Burden Gallery, she met with classical and contemporary photographers such as Eikoh Hosoe, Nick Waplington, Mary Ellen Mark, and was responsible for the care of the Limited Edition print collection.

Knockin

Knockin is also home to one of the radio telescopes that make up the Jodrell Bank MERLIN (Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network) radio telescope array linking six observing stations that together form a powerful telescope with an effective aperture of over 217 kilometres.

Lateral aperture

The structure is also called the lateral aperture of the fourth ventricle or the foramen of Luschka after anatomist Hubert von Luschka.

Lateral process of the zygomatic bone

The lateral process of the zygomatic bone (or malar) is convex and perforated near its center by a small aperture, the zygomaticofacial foramen, for the passage of the zygomaticofacial nerve and vessels; below this foramen is a slight elevation, which gives origin to the Zygomaticus.

Lauren Shakely

Since the publication of this book, she has worked in the publishing industry for more than 20 years, holding senior editorial positions at Rizzoli, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Aperture, and ARTnews.

Lepidoptera genitalia

Monotrysian : Primitive groups have a single genital aperture near the end of the abdomen through which both copulation and egg laying occur.

Long-slit spectroscopy

In astronomy, Long-slit spectroscopy involves observing an elongated celestial object (such as a nebula or along the major axis of a disc galaxy at high inclination) through an elongated slit aperture, and refracting this light with a prism or diffraction grating.

Minolta SR-2

Secondary yellow LV (Light value) numerals engraved on the aperture ring and the shutter speed dial; the sum of the set pair of values ads up to the required LV number.

Nokia N86 8MP

It was Nokia's first camera phone to have an 8 megapixel sensor, and features both multiple aperture settings and a mechanical shutter (uncommon features by the standards of camera phones), and a Carl Zeiss lens with a wide angle of view (28 mm equivalent).

Obsession Telescopes

An Obsession Telescope 25" was the largest aperture telescope at the Custer Observatory in New York State for a time.

Organistrum

Inside the body was the wheel, having a tire of leather well rosined, and working easily through an aperture in the soundboard.

Pamella Bordes

Her work featured in India: A celebration of independence organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania, USA in 1997 and accompanied by a catalogue and essay by Victor Anant, published by Aperture, New York, USA.

Philip Gefter

He then took a job at Aperture Foundation and, as assistant editor, worked on the Aperture History of Photography series and on publications such as Edward Weston: Nudes; America and Lewis Hine; and the re-publication of Robert Frank’s The Americans.

Photographic lens design

An aperture placed outside of the lens, as in the case of some Victorian cameras, risks vignetting of the image in which the corners of the image are darker than the centre.

Pickmere

Pickmere is home to one of the radio telescopes that make up the Jodrell Bank MERLIN (Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network) radio telescope array linking six observing stations that together form a powerful telescope with an effective aperture of over 217 kilometres.

Pneumoconiosis

In the widely acclaimed Puzzle/Shooter game "Portal 2", former CEO and founder of Aperture Science Laboratories, Cave Johnson, purportedly contracted and died of lunar pneumoconiosis after prolonged exposure to the moon rocks he was using in teleportation technology research.

Pseudofeces

The unwanted material is periodically ejected (usually through the inhalant siphon or aperture) by contractions of the adductor muscles, which "clap" the shells together, pushing most of the water out of the mantle cavity and forcibly ejecting both the feces and the pseudofeces.

Rob Schoeben

He and his team were in charge of Apple's applications—iLife, iWork, Aperture, Final Cut Studio, and Logic Studio – and Internet service, .Mac (later relaunched as MobileMe).

Seasat

On the 35th anniversary of Seasat's launch, the Alaska Satellite Facility released newly digitized Seasat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery.

Side lobe

Because an antenna's far field radiation pattern is a Fourier Transform of its aperture distribution, most antennas will generally have sidelobes, unless the aperture distribution is a Gaussian, or if the antenna is so small, as to have no sidelobes in the visible space.

Spatial cutoff frequency

If it were not for the effects of diffraction, a 2" aperture telescope could theoretically be used to read newspapers on a planet circling Alpha Centauri, over four light-years distant.

Stephen Shames

The work was published by Aperture in 1997 in a book entitled Pursuing the Dream: What Helps Children and Their Families Succeed and includes a preface by Michael Jordan.

TacSat-2

The telescope has 50 cm (0.5 m) aperture and was from RC Optical Systems.

Tejo Power Station operations

From the box, with the aperture controlled by the nozzles’ valves and by undergoing the Venturi effect, the steam entered the first wheel with a high enough flow rate to get the turbine to 3000 rpm.

Whorl

Body whorl, in a mollusc shell the most recently formed whorl of a spiral shell, terminating in the aperture

Zygomatic bone

The malar surface is convex and perforated near its center by a small aperture, the zygomaticofacial foramen, for the passage of the zygomaticofacial nerve and vessels; below this foramen is a slight elevation, which gives origin to the Zygomaticus.
