Depth of field

With a set of base assumptions, the produced depth of field is 16.9 cm, corresponding to a far and near limit at 1.74 m and 1.57 m respectively. This is based on a pixel size of 3.76um in a full frame sensor setup at 61 megapixel, a 55mm lens, an aperture of F13 and a distance from the camera to the plant of 1.65 meter. As the aperture is physically decreased, the depth of field in increase, at the cost of decreased optical resolution due to diffraction.
