    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_instrument

    The binocular device is a generally compact instrument for both eyes designed for mobile use. A camera could be considered a type of optical instrument, with the pinhole camera and camera obscura being very simple examples of such devices.

  4. Pseudoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscope

    Pseudoscopic binocular microscope design by Father Cherubin d'Orleans, 1677. Before the pseudoscope itself was created intentionally, it existed in binocular instruments as an imperfection. The first binocular microscope was invented by the Capuchin friar Cherubin d'Orleans. Because his instrument consisted of two inverting systems, it produced ...

  5. Binoculars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    Binoculars with high magnification and heavy weight usually require some sort of mount to stabilize the image. A magnification of 10x is generally considered the practical limit for observation with handheld binoculars. Binoculars more powerful than 15×70 require support of some type.

  6. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    Diagram of a simple microscope. There are two basic types of optical microscopes: simple microscopes and compound microscopes. A simple microscope uses the optical power of a single lens or group of lenses for magnification. A compound microscope uses a system of lenses (one set enlarging the image produced by another) to achieve a much higher ...

  7. Stereoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscope

    A typical stereoscope provides each eye with a lens that makes the image seen through it appear larger and more distant and usually also shifts its apparent horizontal position, so that for a person with normal binocular depth perception the edges of the two images seemingly fuse into one "stereo window". In current practice, the images are ...

  8. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(optics)

    Two Leica oil immersion microscope objective lenses; left 100×, right 40×. The objective lens of a microscope is the one at the bottom near the sample. At its simplest, it is a very high-powered magnifying glass, with very short focal length. This is brought very close to the specimen being examined so that the light from the specimen comes ...

  9. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(optics)

    The focus of the first lens is traditionally about 2mm away from the plane face coinciding with the sample plane. A pinhole cap can be used to align the optical axis of the condenser with that of the microscope. The Abbe condenser is still the basis for most modern light microscope condenser designs, even though its optical performance is poor.
