  "term": "Condenser",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An optical component, typically a lens or system of lenses, designed to gather light from a source and focus it onto a specific area, such as a specimen on a microscope stage or a slide in a projector. It does not form an image of the object itself but rather illuminates it uniformly. Condensers are characterized by their numerical aperture, which indicates their light-gathering ability.",
