    Islamic Advancements: Cameras and Magnifying Glass

    Uploaded by

    Jessie
    Islamic scholars made several important advancements related to cameras in the early 11th century. The Arab scholar Ibn al-Haytham described the basic principles of the pinhole camera, which uses a small hole to project an inverted image, laying the foundations for later camera technologies. While its purpose was initially artistic and educational, the pinhole camera concept was later developed using lenses and became the basis for modern photographic cameras in the 19th century. Islamic inventors' early work with cameras had significant impacts on optics and photography that continue to influence image capture technologies today.

    Advancements-
    1:Cameras

    Basic information
    How the camera works
    About the inventor
    The impacts of cameras
    Impact on today
    Basic information

    What: (Pinhole) Camera Description: “A


    camera without
    lenses, and with only
    When: Early 11th century a pin-hole”

    However, the first known description


    Where: Unknown of pinhole photography is found in
    the 1856 book The Stereoscope by a
    Scottish inventor
    Who: The Arab scholar - Ibn Al-Haytham
    To capture the
    Why: Artistic and educational reasons movement of
    the sun over a
    long period of
    time
    (solargraphy)

    Let people learn about,


    and experiment with, the
    basics of photography
    How the camera works

    A light-proof box with a small hole in one side


    Light from a scene passes through the aperture
    Projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box
    Also known as the camera obscure effect.
    About the inventor

    July 1, 965 AD - March 6, 1040 AD (75 years old)


    Hometown: Egypt
    Arab mathematician, astronomer, and physicist of the
    Islamic Golden Age.
    Referred to as "the father of modern optics”
    Wrote Book of Optics, On the Light of the Moon
    Discovered (and is famous for) camera obscura
    The impact of cameras

    1558, Italian scientists Giambattista della Portausing,


    used a concave mirror to project the image onto paper
    and to use this as a drawing aid
    17th century, use of lens instead of a pinhole was
    introduced
    the camera obscure with a lens became a popular drawing
    aid that was further developed into a mobile device
    The photographic camera, as developed early in the 19th
    century, was basically an adaptation of the pinhole
    camera obscure but with lens.
    Impact on today

    As we can see, now there are many places and situations


    that we use the camera
    But the cameras we use right now is mostly cameras with
    lens
    However, without the first simplest pinhole camera, there
    won’t the use of lens to record images
