What is a ballistic missile?

A ballistic missile is a term that defines a missile's flight path. There are two types of flight paths as far as missiles are concerned: approach angle control and ballistic. A ballistic flight path describes a missile that is launched to a high altitude and adjusts itself to "fall" onto the target. That is how ballistic missiles are capable of such long attack distances. They fly high into the air and, depending how far the target is, either drop on top of it or simply glide to it. Approach angle control describes a missile that reaches it's target under it's own power. Meaning, it's fuel is pushing the missile all the way until detonation. This differs from a ballistic flight path because, generally speaking, a ballistic missiles booster fuel is used up completely by the time it reaches it's apex of it's flight. Hope that answers your question.

Which part of a light microscope fouceses light onto the spicemen through the lens?

condenser - lens system that aligns and focuses the light from the lamp onto the specimen diaphragms or pinhole apertures

Yes, the condenser in a microscope helps to focus and concentrate light onto the specimen by reducing the light cone angle. This focused light enhances the resolution and contrast of the image.

Can a surface to air missile lock on and destroy a tank?

It MIGHT be able to lock onto a tank, but it wouldn't destroy one. AA missiles are designed to fragment (much like a hand grenade), which sends shrapnel into very thin-skinned aircraft. This would be incapable of penetrating a tank, which has very thick armour, and requires a different type of warhead to defeat it.

How do javelin missiles lock on to targets?

There are two missiles I know of offhand known as the Javelin - one is an American made anti-armour weapons, and the other is a British antiaircraft weapon. In the case of the anti-armour weapon, it locks on to the target's heat signature, making it a fire-and-forget weapon. In the case of the antiaircraft weapon, it uses what's known as Semi Automatic Command toLine of Sight (SACLOS), similar in operation to weapons such as the TOW missile, where the operator must visually keep the weapon sighted onto the target until it is destroyed.
