Uses light and lenses to enlarge an image

Real World Example

Imagine trying to read the tiny print on a medicine bottle without your reading glasses. Just like how reading glasses use lenses to focus and enlarge the text so you can see it clearly, a light microscope uses lenses to enlarge small objects, making them visible to the naked eye. In both cases, lenses are used to bend light in such a way that small details become larger and more discernible, allowing us to see what we otherwise couldn't.
