Optics
Vision is one of man's most important means of access to his surroundings. For a long time the
study of the process of vision was inextricably linked to the study of light itself. Only with the
rise of modern science did a deeper differentiation emerge, as research intensified into the
physiology of the eye at the same time as the physical properties of light began to be studied.
At the same time, the field of optics was concerned with the development of instruments such
as the telescope and the microscope.
Sections of the exhibition are dedicated to each of these three aspects of optics. At the
beginning, the properties of light and interesting optical phenomena are explained. The second
section examines the eye and the process of vision. Fin ally, various optical instruments are
displayed with explanations of how they work.
Properties of light
This part of the exhibition begins with geometric optics, which
describes the propagation of light rays in straight lines. This
description of light is useful for describing phenomena such as
reflection and refraction. In other cases such as polarization it is
necessary to take into account the wave properties of light.
Simple demonstration experiments present the most important
phenomena, which are also explained using historical apparatus
and instruments. There are also demonstrations providing
insights into other important properties of light such as colour
and energy.

The eye and vision
In the section "The Eye and Vision", which is housed in the lower
level, visitors can study the structure and function of the eye,
from the cornea, the lens and the iris to the retina, as well as
colour recognition and 3D vision. The optical illusions in the
exhibition are intended to help make the function of the eye more
understandable. Other highlights include the first
ophthalmoscope, invented in 1850 by Hermann von Helmholtz,
