Questions about Aperture Stop Apparatus

What are the main components of the aperture stop apparatus?

The main components include a drive gear, a single driving source, aperture stops with blade members, and rotating members engaged with the drive gear.

How does the apparatus control the amount of light in optical systems?

The apparatus controls the amount of light by adjusting the aperture stops, which have blade members that regulate the light passing through the optical systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

An aperture stop apparatus configured to control a light amount in each of two optical systems arranged in parallel includes a drive gear, a single driving source configured to drive the drive gear, a base member, two aperture stops as iris stops each having three or more blade members, and two rotating members each including a gear portion engaged with the drive gear. Each aperture stop is operated as a corresponding one of the rotating members rotates. A rotation of a drive gear driven by the driving source is transmitted to the two rotating members through the gear portions provided to the rotating members and engaged with the drive gear.
