The depth of field refers to the thickness of the plane of focus. With a
large depth of field, all of the threads can be in focused at the same
time. With a smaller or narrower depth of field, only one thread or a
part of one thread can be focused, everything else will be out of focus.
In order to view the other threads, you must focus downward to view
the ones underneath and upward view the ones that are above.
