Image of the Week: Droplet Lens 

A water droplet resting on a blade of grass acts as a natural convex lens. It refracts light from the printed text behind it, producing a sharp yet inverted image of the letter “m.” This simple setup illustrates the basic principle of lens imaging in a way that is both intuitive and visually striking.
