Concentrate :: Concentrate (v. t.) To bring to, or direct toward, a common center; to unite more closely; to gather into one body, mass, or force; to fix; as, to concentrate rays of light into a focus; to concentrate the attention..

Sunglow :: Sunglass (n.) A convex lens of glass for producing heat by converging the sun's rays into a focus.

Concentre :: Concentre (v. t.) To draw or direct to a common center; to bring together at a focus or point, as two or more lines; to concentrate..

Image :: Image (n.) The figure or picture of any object formed at the focus of a lens or mirror, by rays of light from the several points of the object symmetrically refracted or reflected to corresponding points in such focus; this may be received on a screen, a photographic plate, or the retina of the eye, and viewed directly by the eye, or with an eyeglass, as in the telescope and microscope; the likeness of an object formed by reflection; as, to see one's image in a mirror..

Collimator :: Collimator (n.) A tube having a convex lens at one end and at the other a small opening or slit which is at the principal focus of the lens, used for producing a beam of parallel rays; also, a lens so used..

Focus :: Focus (n.) A point so related to a conic section and certain straight line called the directrix that the ratio of the distace between any point of the curve and the focus to the distance of the same point from the directrix is constant.

Irradiation :: Irradiation (n.) The apparent enlargement of a bright object seen upon a dark ground, due to the fact that the portions of the retina around the image are stimulated by the intense light; as when a dark spot on a white ground appears smaller, or a white spot on a dark ground larger, than it really is, esp. when a little out of focus..

Directrix :: Directrix (n.) A straight line so situated with respect to a conic section that the distance of any point of the curve from it has a constant ratio to the distance of the same point from the focus.

Focusing :: Focusing (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Focu.

Eccentricity :: Eccentricity (n.) The ratio of the distance between the center and the focus of an ellipse or hyperbola to its semi-transverse axis.

Amasthenic :: Amasthenic (a.) Uniting the chemical rays of light into one focus, as a certain kind of lens; amacratic..

Focuses :: Focuses (pl. ) of Focu.

Focalization :: Focalization (n.) The act of focalizing or bringing to a focus, or the state of being focalized..

Ellipse :: Ellipse (n.) An oval or oblong figure, bounded by a regular curve, which corresponds to an oblique projection of a circle, or an oblique section of a cone through its opposite sides. The greatest diameter of the ellipse is the major axis, and the least diameter is the minor axis. See Conic section, under Conic, and cf. Focus..

Focus :: Focus (v. t.) To bring to a focus; to focalize; as, to focus a camera..

Focused :: Focused (imp. & p. p.) of Focu.

Focal :: Focal (a.) Belonging to,or concerning, a focus; as, a focal point..

Micrometer :: Micrometer (n.) An instrument, used with a telescope or microscope, for measuring minute distances, or the apparent diameters of objects which subtend minute angles. The measurement given directly is that of the image of the object formed at the focus of the object glass..

Focus :: Focus (n.) A point in which the rays of light meet, after being reflected or refrcted, and at which the image is formed; as, the focus of a lens or mirror..

Latus Rectum :: Latus rectum () The line drawn through a focus of a conic section parallel to the directrix and terminated both ways by the curve. It is the parameter of the principal axis. See Focus, and Parameter..
