No. These devices work because a convex lens bends light at the interface between the glass and the air.

The reason that lenses refract (bend) light, and therefore produce magnification, is that light travels slower in the glass than in air. The light follows a path which minimizes the time it takes to pass from the source through the air and then through the lens, and when the light is forced to slow down, the quickest path through the curved lens is no longer a straight line.

uh, binoculars? microscopes and magnifying glasses are used to study things invisible to our naked eyes, with the microscope being the stronger one. telescopes are used to look far, and something with the same purpose only a lower power would be a pair of binoculars.

ok:according to "Light Refractions it has a Scientiffic ideas where each Colors come as Bent called Prisoms yes that
depends on which Mangnifcation which 10x more if you use
Telescope but Micro is tiny specks that can't be seen unless
studied with slides under an Microscope"
