Calculating close-up rings (O-ring)

If a very small working distance (= object distance) is selected, small image details can be inspected. However, it is impossible to focus as close as you like, the lens has a close-up limit, also called minimum object distance (MOD). If you purposely want to deceed it, close-up rings must be added.
