| aperture, angular | <microscopy> The angle between the most divergent rays that can pass through a lens to form the image of an object. The angle subtended between the axis of a lens and the largest accepted angle of the image-forming rays. With microscope objectives the trigonometric sine of this angle is used to define numerical aperture but as measured from the axial object point. (05 Aug 1998) |
