So what you're saying is, I just need to eat more fish and the voices will stop?

This is bullshite.

What you can learn today is, that if you use a microscope "the other way around", something big is imaged into somethjng small on the focal plane.
Zeiss, a company that manufactures a shitton of optical stuff, has a very successful semi-conductor branch. That branch started off when some engineers from the microscope-department fiddled around with " inverted" microscopes during their lunchtime to create the first optics for lithography from Zeiss.

Source: i worked there. I know those engineers.

SoleInvictus ,

I'm a microbiologist and the first thing I thought is this is a person with a homework question asking why you can't flip a microscope to make a telescope. What better way to get the right answer than to confidently proclaim on the Internet bad information as fact? Then I was it's a bot copying content from Reddit and now feel gross.

voracitude ,

I'm thinking about going back to school. What did you have to study to get into optical engineering? Is it a branch of mechanical engineering? And what's the daily like in that field?

Tbh that's in a modern sense, historically a microscope was just a single lense, which could be used for both (as far as I know). And the Dutch had the best lense makers and innovators that developed the optie technology early on.

Maybe in the simplest sense but it’d be pretty difficult to do either with a modern device.

If I look through the big hole in the bottom I just see two points of light. Down voted.
