Image Formation and Human Vision
Discover how an inverted real image is formed on the retina of the human eye to produce the phenomenon we call human vision. Instructions for operation of the tutorial appear below the applet window.
Use the mouse cursor to slide the butterfly closer then farther away from the eye. As the butterfly approaches the eye, a larger image is formed on the retina.
