  3. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    An extended hemispherical lens is a special type of plano-convex lens, in which the lens's curved surface is a full hemisphere and the lens is much thicker than the radius of curvature. Another extreme case of a thick convex lens is a ball lens, whose shape is completely round. When used in novelty photography it is often called a "lensball".

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lens_designs

    Simple lenses are lenses consisting of a single element. Lenses in this section may overlap with lens designs in other sections, for example the Wollaston landscape lens is a single element and also a camera lens design. Basic types. Biconcave lens; Biconvex lens; Convex-concave lens; Plano concave lens; Plano convex lens; Meniscus lens; Designs

  5. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    This condenser is composed of two lenses, a plano-convex lens somewhat larger than a hemisphere and a large bi-convex lens serving as a collecting lens to the first. The focus of the first lens is traditionally about 2mm away from the plane face coinciding with the sample plane.

    It used a convergent (plano-convex) objective lens and a divergent (plano-concave) eyepiece lens (Galileo, 1610). [6] A Galilean telescope, because the design has no intermediary focus, results in a non-inverted (i.e., upright) image.

    Often used by monks to assist in illuminating manuscripts, these were primitive plano-convex lenses, initially made by cutting a glass sphere in half. As the stones were experimented with, it was slowly understood that shallower lenses magnified more effectively. Around 1286, possibly in Pisa, Italy, the first pair of eyeglasses was made ...

  8. Ellipsoidal reflector spotlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoidal_reflector...

    The Plano-Convex lenses, named for having one flat side and one convex (bowed out) side, have their convex sides facing each other within the tube. The distance between these lenses and the distance between them and the reflector determines how wide the output beam of light is; A set of brackets on the end of the lens tube for the insertion of ...

  9. Newton's rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_rings

    Newton's rings seen in two plano-convex lenses with their flat surfaces in contact. One surface is slightly convex, creating the rings. One surface is slightly convex, creating the rings. In white light, the rings are rainbow-colored, because the different wavelengths of each color interfere at different locations.
