Sentence examples for function of lenses from inspiring English sources

A thin sheet of this component can perform the joint function of lenses and gratings/etalons in the optical path of a remote sensing system, thus is suitable for controling/filtering light in compact instruments such as satellite sensors.

It is not difficult to see how gradual changes (i.e., direct adaptive evolution) could refine the function of lenses once they appeared in very rudimentary form.

Both the multiple functions and the taxon-specificity of crystallins were totally unexpected in view of the specialized nature and overall similarity in structure and function of lenses in different species.

Bottom panel: Ratio of the two signals from the first panel as a function of lens voltage.

Previous study has indicated that both the structure and stability of lens crystallins and maintenance of strong cellular homeostatic systems are required for sustaining normal function of lens [ 2].

Although the ratio of cholesterol/phospholipid is higher in the inner regions of the lens [ 9], where the oxysterols are most likely accumulate, this does not exclude that cholesterol oxides in fiber cells may still affect function of lens epithelial cells nor that cholesterol oxides may interfere with intercellular communication through gap junctions formed by Cx46/Cx50.

Perceived VPEL did not differ as a function of the lenses being present (M ± SD: 0.2° ± 0.7°), t 9) = 0.86, p =.41, though the perceived VPEL was slightly lower than the true horizontal across both conditions (M ± SD: –1.0° ± 0.9°), t 9) = 3.24, p =.0102.

In this study, we investigated the zoom-lens properties of the three-, four- and five-element electrostatic lens systems as a function of the lens voltages and their dimensions.

Lens epithelial cell mitochondria are abundant (Bassnett and Beebe 1992) and metabolically active (Weber and Menko 2005; Basu et al. 2014a), consistent with the function of the lens epithelium in a wide range of lens processes ranging from ion exchange to protein synthesis (Bloemendal 1981; Brown and Bron 1996; Bantseev et al. 1999; Brennan and Kantorow 2009; Delamere and Tamiya 2009).

In the case of the 2100F, we additionally measure the field conditions as a function of objective lens excitation, which is important for in situ magnetization experiments.

The structural basis of zones of discontinuity in the living human eye lens has not been elucidated, and there is no conclusive explanation for what relevance they may have to the structure and function of the lens.
