Max O. Miller (inventor)
Encyclopedia
Max Otto Miller was an American
film producer and inventor of the Miller Stereoscopic Process. It was an early 3-D
process of making and projecting pictures, using a conventional camera lens a with concave spherical lens attached to increase field without increasing object distance. It included a special design for the aperture
plate and projection of the picture through a double convexed spherical lens
of lesser focal length
. The method used 35 mm film
printed single strip anaglyphic. It was used on films including the 1925 silent
western The Ship of Souls
. Miller also produced the 1924 film A Pair of Hellions
. His son was director and photographer Max B. Miller

Aperture
In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. The aperture determines how collimated the admitted rays are,...

Focal length
The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light. For an optical system in air, it is the distance over which initially collimated rays are brought to a focus...
