You'll also find lenses in binoculars (which use two or three lenses in each of the cylinders serving your eyes) and telescopes, though not all microscopes use them. Ordinary (optical) microscopes use a series of glass lenses to magnify tiny objects, while super-powerful electron microscopes ...
How Lenses Bend, Shape Light to Magnify Objects
Figure 1. A magnifying glass is the simplest form of lens used to view objects. Brightfield vs. fluorescence microscopy If you use additional lenses to increase your ability to magnify a sample, you’ve got a compound microscop...

The magnification or power has little to do with the optical performance of the telescope, and is not a primary consideration. The telescope's ability to magnify an image depends upon the combination of the lenses used, usually a long focal length objective lens or primary mirror in combination...

Contrast the way light microscopes and electron microscopes magnify objects. What kind of microscope did Robert Hooke use? What is two photon microscopy? How do you measure the angle of incidence and refraction? How can you calculate the velocity of a wave without wavelength?
Camera distortionis an unavoidable part of taking pictures. High-end lenses can make lens distortion indiscernible, but the way a lens works makes a zero distortion lens impossible (at least for now). By understanding lens distortion and working with photography editing programs, you can reduce th...
On top of that, if you make a hologram of a magnifying glass, the holographic version will magnify the other objects in the hologram, just like a real one. Once you know the principles behind holograms, understanding how they can do all this is easy. This article will explain how a ...
A microscope helps us magnify objects for better visualisation. To make things visible, light is used and hence it is called light microscopy. If electrons are used for visualisation it is referred to as electron microscopy. Light microscopes thrive on the principles of refraction...
