So it turns out that nowadays, you can do basic ray-optics simulations for free in the browser. Basically, like #Falstad circuit simulator, but for ray optics. Play around with it here: https://lnkd.in/dwzNE-JW Stuff I just tried with a basic camera/microscope setup (two lenses and aperture): - top: imaging a plane with @ ¼ magnification - mid: imaging three coloured point-sources @ ¼ magnification - bot: perspective/defocus/bokeh effect @ ½ magification — objects in-focus / out-of-focus #physics #optics #microscopy #photography #simulation cc: Max Simmonds, I imagine you'll have fun with this.
Where was this when I had lab?? #weliveinthefuture
😱 that is definitely physics meets Falstad - I’ll have to play around!

7moPS. If anyone knows a similar tool that does Gaussian optics, please let me know!
