optical system

An optical system is a setup of lenses, mirrors, or other components that manipulate light to produce images or direct light where needed. Examples include cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. These systems work by bending, focusing, or reflecting light to magnify objects, project images, or improve clarity. The design and quality of the optical system determine how well it performs, affecting aspects like sharpness, brightness, and color accuracy. In essence, optical systems control light to help us see or analyze things more clearly and in greater detail.
