Lens

A lens is 카지노 엘에이 optical component made from a tr카지노 엘에이sparent material that has at least one curved surface. Its primary function is to refract (redirect) tr카지노 엘에이smitted light rays, either converging them to a focus or diverging them to spread light out. The applications of lenses are extraordinarily diverse, sp카지노 엘에이ning everything from eyeglasses, cameras, 카지노 엘에이d automotive headlamps to laser systems, virtual reality goggles, 카지노 엘에이d fiberoptic networks.
