Record-breaking camera keeps everything between 3 cm and 1.7 km in focus

In photography, depth of field refers to how much of a three-dimensional space the camera can focus on at once. A shallow depth of field, for example, would keep the subject sharp but blur out much of the foreground and background. Now, researchers at … Continue reading Record-breaking camera keeps everything between 3 cm and 1.7 km in focus
