Aperture is the size of the hole that light has to pass through to get to the photo paper. An aperture with a small number would be a big whole and vice versa.
In practice: If the shutter speed was high (short) the aperture would be low, meaning a large hole, so that the amount of light hitting the photo paper was correct.
If the shutter speed was longer, the aperture would be a high, meaning a small hole, so that the correct amount of light met the paper... and not too much or too little.
It is also how you control the depth of field in your photograph. Small aperture gives you a deep depth of field, and a large gives you an area of sharp focus.
Hope that's slightly helpful!

A camera hog "steals the spotlight" from others, while a camera ham is a very over-enthusiastic model for the camera, loves the attention, and loves to be photographed.

What is the aperture for on a microscope?
You need to be able to see the slide and the aperature is that opening in the body tube.
How does the aperture affect exposure?
If you think about your lens like a papertowel tube over your eye. Now constrict the tube so that it is thinner. This is what the aperature ring does on the end of your lens; it constricts the light flow so that you don't have overexposed images, or helps you to bring out certain colors if you are doing artistic shots. Experiment with changing the aperature in the same setting, you will understand how it works. If you happen to have a non-digital lens lying around, change the aperature off the body, and you will have a perfect understanding how it works.
How is the sharpness of the image affected by the size of the aperature?
The smaller the aperture, the sharper the image. If your question is WHY that happens, hopefully another contributor will help out with that answer.
How does the light meter on a Vivitar 3800N camera work?
The light meter lets you set either the shutter speed or the aperature. When you look in the view finder you'll see either a red positive or red negative sign. This means there is either too much light or not enough light based upon the cameras settings. If you want to control the shutter speed set it where you want it to be. The aperature setting is the variable setting that you move until you see a green dot in the view finder. When a green dot is found in the view finder you have the correct settings. If you can't get a green light by adjusting the aperture setting then the shutter speed is too fast for the lighting conditions. In this case move the shutter speed to a slower setting then adjust the aperture ring again. It's all about the lighting with this camera. If you do not see a green light in the view finder you do not have adquate light to expose the film properly. By the way, you should not hold a camera in your hand with a shutter speed of one sixtieth of a second or less. The picture will blur from motion. This is much easier to show than explain. I . I am a photography teacher at a local high school and we use the 3800N camera.
