- 3. Convex LensesConvex lensbends light toward a central or focal point.

- 5. History from Glassesinto PhotographyThe camera lens evolved from optical lenses developed for other purposes, and matured with the camera and photographic film. In 1568, a Venetian nobleman, Daniel Barbaro, placed a lens over the hole in a camera box and studied sharpness of image and focus. His first lens was from an old man's convex spectacles. The astronomer Johann Kepler elaborated on Barbaro's experiments in 1611 by describing single and compound lenses, explaining image reversal, and enlarging images by grouping convex and concave lenses.

- 10. Fresnel LensA Frenchphysicist named Augustine Jean Fresnel created a lens that would help to travel across the oceans to lead boats to shore. Fresnel’s invention was simply a convex lens that had ridges in it to extend the light and reflect it even further.
- 11. The Fresnel lensshot the light across the horizon up to 20 miles which was 97% more powerful than the traditional oil light of the time. The invention of the Fresnel lens saved a lot of power and money and at the same time produced a more powerful signal than before.

- 13. HistoryThe telescope wassaid to be invented by Galilieo around the 17th century. It was used to view the heavens and learn more about the stars than they knew. The telescope was said to be the invention of the scientific revolution in the 17th century.The simple idea of convex and concave lenses (which were invented in the 1300’s) placed in a tube to allow far away objects in a tube was an idea that revolutionized the world that we know today.
- 14. GalileoGalileo Galilei wasborn on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. Galileo pioneered "experimental scientific method" and was the first to use a refracting telescope to make important astronomical discoveries
- 15. LensThrough the useof the convex and the concave lenses we are able to have the world that we have today. Without this invention the world would be a dark unknown place. Many great inventions and ideas have sparked from these simple bent pieces of glass. The lens will always have inspirations on the world and its future development and never will go out of style. In my own personal opinion, the lens was one of the greatest inventions in the world because of how beneficial it has been to society and the growth of nations.
