In general, two types of lenses exist : convex lenses, which cause parallel light rays to converge, and concave lenses, which cause parallel light rays to diverge.

A . The curved surface of a clear measuring cup, either glass or plastic, acts as a simple convex lens, very much like the ones in eyeglasses.
23.
This condenser is composed of two lenses a plano-convex lens somewhat larger than a hemisphere and a large bi-convex lens serving as a collecting lens to the first.
24.
The lower part of the figure shows a representation of a plano-convex lens ( at the right ) and its focal point on the axis at the left.
25.
The entire assembly was then placed in a grinding jig which transformed the flat end-plates into convex lenses, each focused on the image borne by the opposite plate.
26.
For instance, a plano-convex lens, which is used to focus a collimated beam, produces a sharper focal spot when used with the convex side towards the beam source.
27.
This condenser is composed of two lenses a plano-convex lens somewhat larger than a hemisphere and a large bi-convex lens serving as a collecting lens to the first.
28.
If you may have a-2 diopter concave lens ( for example ) your friend would have to wear a + 2 diopter convex lens to get the same effect.
29.
Time is the Concave / Convex lenses that multiply and divide light, called the Polar coordinate system and represents 3-Dimensional spiral / circular instances in time ( Trigonometry ).

For a convex lens as shown in the figure, the two sides of the glass are not parallel . talk ) 02 : 46, 23 April 2009 ( UTC)
