convex

Examples of convex in the following topics:

• Refraction and Magnification

  • In general, two types of lenses exist: convex lenses, which cause parallel light rays to converge, and concave lenses, which cause parallel light rays to diverge.
  • The former property of convex lenses is of special interest to microbiologists.
  • In essence, a convex lens allows magnification.
  • A magnifying glass is one convex lens, and this by itself allows the magnification of objects.
  • Note also that many of the lenses are convex, thus the light that goes through a specimen is focused and therefore magnified.

• Deinococcus and Thermus

  • Colonies are smooth, convex, and pink to red in color.
