optics (binoculars and scopes)

Optics like binoculars and scopes use lenses and prisms to magnify distant objects, making them appear closer and clearer. Binoculars have two aligned lenses, allowing for natural depth perception and comfortable viewing with both eyes. Scopes are typically used on firearms or cameras to provide precise, magnified views of distant targets, often with adjustable settings for clarity and focus. Both devices manipulate light to enhance detail, helping users see objects far away with greater clarity and accuracy. Their quality depends on lens quality, magnification power, and optical design.
