Why do we need optical instruments for?

i. Due to the limitation for focusing the eye lens it is not possible to take an object closer than a certain distance. This distance is called least distance of distance vision D. For a normal, unaided human eye D = 25 cm.

ii. If an object is brought closer than this, we cannot see it clearly.

iii. If an object is too small the corresponding visual angle from 25 cm is not enough to see it and if we bring it closer than that, its image on the retina is blurred.

iv. Also, the visual angle made by cosmic objects far away from us such as stars is too small to make out minor details and we cannot bring those closer.

v. In such cases we need optical instruments like microscope and telescopes to observe these things clearly.
