Converging and diverging lenses Rays refract towards optical axis Rays refract away from optical axis thinner in the center . Ray 1 is parallel to the axis and refracts through F. Ray 2 passes through F' before refracting parallel to the axis. Ray 3 passes straight through the center of the lens. The lenses are usually rotated by 100, insetting the reading segment to- wards the nose. (Fig. 6) Fig. 5 After the back surface has been finished the front sur- face is then worked to the required power. To centre the segment for near vision, the lenses are, as is usual, rotated by 100 towards the nose. If the lenses are The optical performance of spherical and aspheric soft contact lenses Over recent years soft lenses have been available in aspheric designs and these are claimed to minimize aberrations and improve visual performance. A recent study by Lindskoog Petterson et al11 Physics 142 Lenses and Mirrors Page !1 Lenses and Mirrors Now for the sequence of events, in no particular order. — Dan Rather Overview: making practical use of the laws of reflection and refraction We will now study formation of images by lenses and mirrors, and the use of these in simple optical instruments. Lenses can be centered both optically and mechanically. The mechanical method uses bell chucks and can be both a manual and/or automated process. The lens is placed between two precision aligned chucks and it will slide to the point where there is even edge thickness. This self centering process automatically lines up the mechanical and A lens or mirror that curves inward is aconcavelens or mirror. In addition to the shape, lenses and mirrors are classifled by their response to light rays, that is incident light rays re°ect ofi mirrors and refract through lenses. As will be seen, light rays incident on a concave mirror are re°ected and converge to a point. · Share contact lenses or wear any lenses not specified by the Optometrist Remember if you have any questions about your contact lenses you should consult your Optometrist for advice.

Ion optics with rotational symmetric electrostatic lenses is presented in the book of Hinterber ger [7]. Ion optics with transv erse electric elds has been co vered in the books of Banford [8], Dahl [9] and W ollnik [10]. Here, the rst-order matrix formalism of ion optics with electrostatic lenses is presented follo wing the book of Hinterber Converging lenses take an initially parallel beam of light and focuses that light (after refracting the light on the front and back surfaces of the lens) to a common point called the focal point of the lens. The image of an object is formed by light being refracted on the front and back surfaces of the lens. condenser lenses is a number that indicates the lenses resolving power - its numerical aperture or NA. For the Zeiss lens in table 7.1 it is 1.40. The larger the NA the better the resolving power. Ernst Abbe invented the concept of numerical aperture in 1873. However, prior to Abbe's quantitative formulation of resolving power other efficience of hunters with these lenses.
