General Science / Can our eye zoom without using a microscope?
« on: 08/06/2021 22:39:41 »
First time posting on the forum.
Last night I was looking at my girlfriend's eyes. Specifically, at the little flashes of light that her eye was reflecting. She was indirectly looking at the ceiling light, so she had a quite strong circular and tiny flash on the left of her eye.
The thing is that, while focusing in this flash and with one of my eyes closed, I was getting closer and closer to it, to the point that I was barely touching her nose with my own face. Once I was near enough to see this light clearly, I noticed that inside this light, there were little black dots moving.
It truly felt like I was looking through a microscope. I felt like I was looking at the very tiny things that she had on her eyes. There were black little dots in a white area. I wouldn't say that I was looking on a cellular level, but I am certain that the things that I was looking at couldn't be seen at plain sight.
Now, points I need to clarify. No, I am certain that I wasn't looking at my own vitreous floaters (The so-called “bugs” of the eyes). If she moved her eye, this scope would also move, while changing the things that I was looking at. No, with black dots I don't mean those that appear while looking directly to the light or anything like that. These were different. I truly felt like I was looking at a microscope.
Thinking that I was crazy, I told my girlfriend to do the same with me. So I looked indirectly to the ceiling light, she focused on one of the flashes that my eye was reflecting, and she freaked out.
She also felt like she was looking through a microscope.
SO, guys, I need you to do two things:
One is to try it yourself with someone you know. As said, you have to be very very close, nearly touching the other person's face to see it, so that you have a clean sight of this light. You know, the same way you do it when you have to look through a microscope.
Two, I need answers. Can we truly see deeper without using a microscope? Am I seen something that is normal to be seen?
If you guys have more questions, I will be down in the comments.
Thank you!!
