explanation

The type of the lens - 2 convex lens

Specification:
Objective lens shorter focal length &
high power
Eyepiece longer focal length & low
power
Type of mirror
- concave mirror
Distance between the two lens
Distance must be greater than the sum of
the focal lengths of the objective lens and
the eyepiece
Distance > fo + f e

Converge the light

Distance of the specimen

Characteristic
Density of the material must be
small
Elasticity must be high / moderate
Thickness must be thick
Air absorption must be high

Reasons
To make the landing pad lighter /
easier to carry
Lengthen the time of impact to
reduce the impulsive force
Better absorb the impact // to
reduce the impulsive force
Release and absorb the air easily
