Optical instrument information


An illustration of some of the optical devices available for laboratory work in England in 1858.

An optical instrument is a device that processes light waves (or photons), either to enhance an image for viewing or to analyze and determine their characteristic properties. Common examples include periscopes, microscopes, telescopes, and cameras.
