Optical
Instruments
Optical instruments are devices that
use lenses, mirrors, or a combination of
both to manipulate light in order to
enhance vision, magnify objects, or
capture images. These instruments work
based on the principles of reflection,
refraction, and light focusing.

CAMERA
A camera is a device used to
capture images or videos by
recording light from a scene. It
works by focusing light onto a
photosensitive surface, such as
film or a digital sensor.

TELESCOPE
TYPES OF TELESCOPE
They use mirrors instead of lenses
to focus light.
A concave mirror is used to
gather light. Another mirror is
used to direct the light onto an
Reflecting Telescope
eyepiece.
REFLECTING TELESCOPE
TYPES OF TELESCOPE
They use lenses to bend
light to a specific focal
point. A refracting
telescope contains two
Refracting Telescope convex lenses.
BINOCULARS
A binocular is an optical
instrument consisting of two
similar telescopes, used for
providing a magnified view of
distant objects.
