32:) P. The caption is translated as: "Fig. 20. Concerning depth with photographic lenses. The upper and lower parts of the figure are identical in the position of the field plane, entrance pupil and the object. The only difference is the diameter of the entrance pupil, the upper being twice the size of the lower. For this reason the upper circles of confusion o1 o2 are also twice the size of the lower ones at the field plane O and the object side image o1 O o2 is twice as blurry as the lower. (By accident the print in the upper field plane O says O1 instead of o1.)" 25: 132: 120:(see his 1904 and 1906 books). He says, "At this point it will be sufficient to note that all these formulae involve quantities relating exclusively to the entrance-pupil and its position with respect to the object-point, whereas the focal length of the transforming system does not enter into them." 17: 28:
Von Rohr's method of DOF calculation involves projecting object points to circles of confusion in the field plane (Einstellebene), with reference to the entrance pupil (
