optical axis

The imaginary line passing through the midpoint of a lens, mirror, or system of such elements and on which lies the focal point of parallel paraxial rays.

Optical Axis

The optical axis of a lens or a concave or convex mirror is the straight line that is the axis of symmetry of the refracting surfaces of the lens or of the reflecting surface of the mirror. It passes perpendicularly through the center of these surfaces. Optical surfaces that have such an axis are said to be axially symmetric. The optical axis of an optical system is the common axis of symmetry of all the lenses and mirrors in the system.

[′äp·tə·kəl ′ak·səs] (anatomy) An imaginary straight line passing through the midpoint of the cornea (anterior pole) and the midpoint of the retina (posterior pole). (optics) A line passing through a radially symmetrical optical system such that rotation of the system about this line does not alter it in any detectable way. optic axis

optical axis

An imaginary line drawn from the geometric center of a film to the center of a lens. It may project beyond the lens. Also called a lens axis and a camera axis
