Understanding the Eye and Common Optical Instruments

Basics of Light and Optics → The Telescope

This learning path introduces the principles of optics behind the human eye and common optical instruments such as microscopes, telescopes, and cameras. Starting with the basics of light and lenses, it builds up to the design and function of these instruments, including corrective optics for vision defects. The path is designed for high school students with an interest in understanding how optical tools work.
