| Exit pupil | The exit pupil is a concept in optics, and is defined as the minimum diameter of the light beam leaving an eyepiece through which all of the light from the eyepiece passes. For a telescope, it can be calculated by dividing the focal length of the eyepiece by the focal ratio (f number) of the telescope. More simply, it is the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification. (references) | ||
