Week 8: Identify ways in which the properties of mirrors and lenses determine their use in
optical instruments (e.g., cameras and binoculars); S10FE-IIh52

OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
The human eye has some limitations. To compensate for these limitations, several
instruments were developed in accordance with the principles of refraction by lenses and
reflection by mirrors.

1. Magnifying Glass
A magnifying lens or a simple microscope is an optical instrument, we use for the
magnification of small objects to get a clear image or vision. It is a convex lens having a short
focal length. This microscope is at a small distance from the object for the magnification and
hence this forms a virtual image. The simple microscope enables us to view very small letters
and figures. Watchmakers also make use of these. This lens forms a virtual, upright and
enlarged image.

2. Compound Microscope
With a compound microscope, we get very large values of magnification. We use this
microscope to see microscopic objects like microorganisms. It comprises of two convex lenses
and magnification occurs in both lenses. The components of a compound microscope are
eyepiece, objective lens, fine and rough adjustment screw.
It has two convex lenses namely objective lens and eyepiece. The objective lens
produces an image that is real, inverted and enlarged, which becomes the object of the
eyepiece. The eyepiece, in turn, produces an enlarged, virtual and upright final image.

3. Telescope
A telescope is a device that enables us to see distant objects. It has two types. One is the
reflecting type and another one is the refracting type.
A. Reflecting telescopes are the ones which do not use lenses at all. They use mirrors to focus
the light together. The type of mirror used is a concave mirror. Mirrors also bend the
light together, except that they do it by reflecting the light instead of bending it.
B. Refracting telescopes work by using two lenses to focus the light and make it look like the
object is closer to you than it really is. Both the lenses are in a shape of ‘convex’. Convex
lenses work by bending light inwards. It works as the same way with compound
microscope.

The object being viewed is usually far away and hence the first image is formed just
beyond the principal focus of the objective. The first image is real, inverted and smaller. It
normally lies just inside the focal point of the eyepiece. The eyepiece produces a magnified
virtual final image at infinity.

4. Camera
The camera is the man’s answer to the eye’s inability to produce permanent record of
the image formed at the retina. Lenses direct the light in a camera. It works like the human
eye. The image is smaller, inverted and real.

5. Binoculars
Binoculars or field glasses are two telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point
in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing
distant objects.
