3: Applications of Light
- Lenses
-
- Convex and Concave Lenses Used in Eyeglasses
- Concave Lenses Are for the Nearsighted, Convex for the Farsighted
- Telephoto Lenses Are Combinations of Convex and Concave Lenses
- Lenses that Correct the Blurring of Colors
- Low-chromatic-aberration Glass
- Aspherical Lenses for Correcting Spherical Aberration
- Lenses that Make Use of the Diffraction of Light
- Single Lens Reflex (SLR) Camera Lenses that Use Laminated Diffractive Optical Elements
- A Huge Lens: the Subaru Telescope on the Summit of Mt.Mauna Kea in Hawaii
- Subaru's Primary Focus Camera Boasts Very Wide Field of View
