| curvature of field | <microscopy> A property of lens that causes the image of a plane to be focused into a curved surface instead of a plane.

While the eye may partially correct for this, a camera lens will not, and the final image as photographed will not be in perfect focus over the entire image plane. (05 Aug 1998) |
