“Lenses, telescopes, and microscopes are man-made optical gadgets designed to help the human eye see very distant or very small objects. But the eye itself is an optical instrument designed by Mother Nature, the most ingenious of all designers, and it still remains the most versatile optical instrument ever made.” George Gamow & J M Cleaveland Physics: Foundations and Frontiers Prentice-Hall, New Delhi, 1963
