The shape of the pinhole in a pinhole camera does not matter when the object is as far away as the sun (or even the moon). I once watched a solar eclipse by watching the continuously moving shadows on the ground of the leaves of trees. The gaps between the leaf shadows showed hundreds of bright images of the eclipse.

What is the name of the lenses through which a student looks to view the image on the slide?

The lenses through which a student views the image on a slide are called eyepieces or ocular lenses. These lenses are located at the top of the microscope and are used in combination with the objective lenses to magnify the image of the specimen.


What term indicates an image through which light does not really travel?

A virtual image is an optical image formed when light rays do not actually come together at the position of the image. Instead, they appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror or lens, giving the appearance of a real image when viewed.


How does micrscopes produce an image while observing?

Microscopes use lenses to magnify an image of a specimen placed on a slide. Light is passed through the specimen and the lenses to create an enlarged, detailed image that can be observed through an eyepiece or displayed on a screen. Some microscopes, like electron microscopes, use beams of electrons instead of light to create an image.


How is the image projected into the microscope?

In a microscope, the image is projected through a series of lenses that magnify the specimen. Light from a source illuminates the sample, and as it passes through the objective lens, it captures the light and forms an enlarged image. This image is then further magnified by the eyepiece lens before reaching the observer's eye. The combination of these lenses allows for detailed examination of the specimen at various magnifications.


Is the image perceived through the microscope's eyepiece both vertically and laterally inverted?

Yes, the image seen through a microscope's eyepiece is both vertically and laterally inverted. This inversion is a result of the optical system used in microscopes.

Who created the camera?

Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham) He lived around 1000AD. Sometime during his life he invented the first pinhole camera, and he was able to explain why the images were upside down (I wouldn't have been able to!). The first reference to the optic laws that made pinhole cameras possible, was observed and noted by Aristotle (So many weird names!!) around 330 BC, who questioned why the sun could make a circular image when it shined through a square hole.(Good Question!!!)

How does footage you take on a circle lens camera turn into square or rectagle when you watch it on your TV?

Good question! The image transmitted by the lens is actually circular, but it passes through a rectangular opening just before the film plane. This creates a rectangular image on the film because part of what the lens is transmitting is blocked. You are never reminded of this since the entire "previewing" system is constructed to show you what you will get, not what the lens actually "sees".


How do you cut out a picture on Irfanview and make it not a square more of a circular or to fit the object?

In IrfanView, you can cut out a picture in a circular shape by first selecting the area you want to keep using the "Selection" tool. Choose the "Custom selection" option and hold down the Shift key while dragging to create a circular selection. After making your selection, go to Edit > Copy, then create a new image (File > New) and paste the selection there (Edit > Paste). Finally, save the new image in your desired format.


Why don't cameras take round pictures?

Some might do - depends on what camera or settings they have. There are some that can. While the lens produces a circular image, it was easier to fit square or rectangular images onto a strip of film. A 35mm lens used on a large format (5x4 inch or 8x10 inch) sheet film will indeed produce a circular image in the middle of the plate. It's a criminal waste of film, though.


What is the term for an image through which light passes?

The term for an image through which light passes is a transparent image.

What does a circular polarizer do to enhance the quality of photographs?

A circular polarizer enhances the quality of photographs by reducing glare and reflections, increasing color saturation, and improving contrast in the image.


What is the term for and image through which light passes?

The term for an image through which light passes is a "transparent" image. This refers to an image that allows light to pass through it with minimal distortion.

What is meant by mean square error in digital image processing?

The mean square error is used as part of the digital image processing method to check for errors. Two MSEs are calculated and then compared to determine the accuracy of an image.
