optical elements

Optical elements are components that manipulate light to achieve specific functions, such as focusing, directing, or modifying it. Common examples include lenses, which bend light to magnify or focus images; mirrors, which reflect light to change its direction; and filters, which selectively transmit certain wavelengths of light. These elements are essential in devices like cameras, glasses, microscopes, and telescopes, enabling precise control of light for imaging, measurement, or visual correction. They work based on the principles of optics, such as refraction and reflection, to help us see, analyze, or project images effectively.
