The primary purpose of a scientific photographer is to help record data, be it for the scientific, medical or business communities, or the government. But there's more to scientific photos than meets the eye. Scientific photographers have a particular skill set that allows them to "see" data through the camera lens, and present it in a fashion that is alluring and sometimes even captivating. 1, record 1, English, - scientific%20photographer

Viewing Distance at Computer Workstations.... Accommodation is when the lens capsule in your eye changes shape to focus on a close object. The eyes have a default accommodation distance, called the resting point of accommodation(RPA). That is the distance at which the eyes focus when there is nothing to focus on. In total darkness our eyes are set to focus at a particular distance, so that if the lights were turned on, an object at that distance would be in clear focus.

... reading from a computer screen ... Our eyes have what is called a "dark focus." This is the point in space where your focus would be if your eyes were totally relaxed. Imagine a pitch black room. In such an environment, where you can’t see anything, your eyes are actually focusing on a fixed point in space, that is why it is called the "dark" focus. This focus is known as the Resting Point of Accommodation (RPA) and is unique to every individual, but it usually rests more than three feet away from your face (and does not depend on time of day or age). 6, record 3, English, - resting%20point%20of%20accommodation
