#lens_system__lens a transparent optical device used to converge or diverge transmitted light and to form images
supertype: optical_device__opticaldevice a device for producing or controlling light
part of: optical_instrument
subtype: anastigmat compound lens or lens system designed to be free of astigmatism and able to form approximately point images
subtype: anastigmatic_lens a lens designed to correct astigmatism
subtype: camera_lens__optical_lens a lens that focuses the image in a camera
subtype: closeup_lens a photographic lens with a short focal length used to take pictures at short ranges
subtype: portrait_lens a compound camera lens with a relatively high aperture
subtype: telephoto_lens__zoom_lens a camera lens that magnifies the image
subtype: wide-angle_lens__fisheye_lens a camera lens having a wider than normal angle of view (and usually a short focal length); produces an image that is foreshortened in the center and increasingly distorted in the periphery
subtype: compound_lens a lens system consisting of two or more lenses on the same axis
subtype: achromatic_lens__achromaticlen a compound lens system that forms an image free from chromatic aberration
subtype: optical_condenser__opticalcondenser__condenser lens used to concentrate light on an object
subtype: Abbe_condenser a condenser having 2 or 3 lenses with wide aperture for use in microscopes
subtype: contact_lens a thin curved glass or plastic lens designed to fit over the cornea in order to correct vision or to deliver medication
subtype: converging_lens__convex_lens lens such that a beam of light passing through it is brought to a point or focus
subtype: crown_lens a lens made of optical crown glass
subtype: diverging_lens__concave_lens a lens such that a parallel beam of light passing through it is caused to diverge or spread out
subtype: eyepiece__ocular combination of lenses at the viewing end of optical instruments
subtype: Fresnel_lens lens composed of a number of small lenses arranged to make a lightweight lens of large diameter and short focal length
subtype: intraocular_lens an artificial lens that is implanted into the eye of someone to replace a damaged natural lens or someone who has had a cataract removed
subtype: monocle__eyeglass lens for correcting defective vision in one eye; held in place by facial muscles
subtype: object_glass__objective the lens or system of lenses nearest the object being viewed
