A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.

A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis.

Lenses are made from materials such as glass or plastic, and are ground and polished or moulded to a desired shape.

A lens can focus light to form an image, unlike a prism, which refracts light without focusing.

Devices that similarly focus or disperse waves and radiation other than visible light are also called lenses, such as microwave lenses, electron lenses, acoustic lenses, or explosive lenses.

A camera is an optical instrument for recording or capturing images, which may be stored locally, transmitted to another location, or both.

The images may be individual still photographs or sequences of images constituting videos or movies.

The camera is a remote sensing device as it senses subjects without physical contact.

The word camera comes from camera obscura, which means "dark chamber" and is the Latin name of the original device for projecting an image of external reality onto a flat surface.

The modern photographic camera evolved from the camera obscura.

The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.

Photography is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
