How DCX Lenses Work
Other People Are Reading
-
Shape
-
DCX lenses are double convex lenses. When a lens is double convex, that means that it has two outward-curving surfaces. Such lenses serve to magnify objects.
Process
-
DCX lenses magnify objects and intensify light by focusing, or inwardly bending light which is shone at a parallel angle. When the light is refocused, the image appears larger.
-
Uses
-
DCX lenses are used in photography and film as a condenser lens, which serves to refocus a light source on the subject.
Considerations
-
If a light is focused too intensely with a DCX lens, it may become very hot and burn the area upon which it is focused.
Photo Quality
-
A DCX lens can also be used in a photographic or film camera to adjust the quality of the image and create wide-angle images.
