large, isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s not likely what you think of when you hear the word lens. You probably think of a pair of eyeglasses when you hear the word lens, but this large ball and some glasses really do have a lot in common. All a lens is a piece of glasses with precision surfaces cut and polished on either side of it. The thickness, shape, and type of glass all contribute to how powerful of a lens it is. There aren\u2019t really two sides to this particular lens since it\u2019s a ball, but the idea is the same! You can see it act as a magnifying glass as you hold up objects to it, or even if a friend puts their face on the far side of it from you. Give it a try! This lens was polished here at the college and was donated by O\u2019Hara Glass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":634,"featured_media":0,"parent":180,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-226","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/634"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":252,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226\/revisions\/252"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
