Optics is the branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments...

In optics, any optical instrument or system – a microscope, telescope, or camera – has a principal limit to its resolution due to the physics of diffraction...

In optics, a diaphragm is a thin opaque structure with an opening (aperture) at its center. The role of the diaphragm is to stop the passage of light,...

Folded optics is an optical system in which the beam is bent in a way to make the optical path much longer than the size of the system. This allows the...
