Retina contains many light sensitive rods and cones on its surface
Rods are extremely sensitive but cannotdistinguish color
Cones not as sensitive but distinguish color Macula has more cones than rods
Fovea centralis, at center of macula, denselypacked so sharpest image
Eye constantly moving to focus light here
Human vision wavelength range sensitivity:390-780 nm Crystalline lens absorbs UV
Some studies claim: 310-1050 nm

Near Point/Far Point
Near point ( d 0 ): closest point on which the eye can focus (~25 cm butvaries with age)
Far point: most distant point that can be brought to a focus on the retinaFor the normal eye the far point is located at infinity, which is everywherebeyond about 5 m.

Correcting for FarsightednessLong near point
Farsightedness is corrected by positive (converging)lens with a focal length equal to the far-point distance
A converging lens with positive power will effectivelymove a close object out beyond the near point where
the eye works properly

Basic ConceptsModern compound microscopes * feature a two-stagemagnifying design built around separate lens systems:the objective and the eyepiece (commonly termed an
ocular ), mounted at opposite ends of a tube, known as thebody tube .
The objective is composed of several lens elements thattogether form a magnified real image (the intermediateimage ) of the specimen being examined.
The intermediate image is further magnified by theeyepiece . The user is able to observe a greatly enlargedvirtual image of the specimen by peering through theeyepieces.
The total magnification of a microscope is determined bymultiplying the individual magnifications of the objectiveand eyepiece.
*This invention isattributed to the Janssenbrothers in theNetherlands and Galileoin Italy, 1600 circa

Types of TelescopesThree primary types of optical telescope:1. Refractors (Dioptrics) which use lenses2. Reflectors (Catoptrics) which use mirrors3. Combined Lens-Mirror Systems (Catadioptrics) which use lenses and mirrors in
combination; (Maksutov telescope and the Schmidt camera)
The basic scheme is that the primary light-gathering element the objective (1)(the convex lens or concave mirror used to gather the incoming light), focusesthat light from the distant object (4) to a focal plane where it forms a real image
(5). This image may be recorded or viewed through an eyepiece (2) which actslike a magnifying glass. The eye (3) then sees an inverted magnified virtual
image (6) of the object.

Newtonian Telescope
A replica of Newton's secondreflecting telescope that hepresented to the Royal Society in1672.
First invented by the British scientist Sir Isaac Newton (16431727), using a concave primarymirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror
Newtonian telescope's simple design makes them very popular with amateur telescope makers.

Reflecting Telescope - Newtonian
The large curved mirror by itself would form an image I, but the small mirrorcreates an image of the image, I. The relationship between I and I is exactly
the same as it would be if I was an actual object rather than an image.

Gregorian Telescope
The Gregorian telescope is a type of reflecting telescope designed by Scottish mathematicianand astronomer James Gregory in the 17th century, and first built in 1673 by Robert Hooke.
The Gregorian telescope consists of two concave mirrors ; the primary mirror (aconcave paraboloid ) collects the light and brings it to a focus before the secondarymirror (a concave ellipsoid ) where it is reflected back through a hole in the centre of
the primary.
Primary mirror
Can be viewedwith the aid of the eyepiece(or camera, detector).
This design of telescope renders an upright image,making it useful for terrestrial observations.

Cassegrain ReflectorThe Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary
convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas.
The classic Cassegrain configuration uses a parabolic reflector as the primarywhile the secondary mirror is convex hyperbolic ( increases effective focal length).
There are lots of specific variations to this geometry,including: SchmidtCassegrain, MaksutovCassegrain,ArgunovCassegrain, KlevtsovCassegrain, etc

Cassegrain in Action
A Cassegrain radio antenna the 70meter dish at JPL's Goldstone antenna
complex. In this case the final focus is infront of the primary mirror.
Cassegrain designs are also utilized in satellite communications earth stationantennas and radio telescopes, ranging in size from 6.3 metres to 70 metres.
The Raisting Satellite Earth Station is thelargest satellite communications facility inGermany (radioastronomy).
