Seeing/microscope/Hacking: We see diffraction instead of refraction, therefore, this is not "proper seeing". The resolution into two separate images does not turn them into real dioptric images.
I 314
Different from this: using a telescope is proper seeing.
>Observation, >Method.
I 317
Microscope: with the microscope there is a stronger interaction (coloring, etc.).
I 318
But you do not need a theory to use a microscope, just to build it.
I 334
We need biochemistry to use our microscope.
I 346
Microscope: in the case of the microscope we do not talk about "seeing". Nevertheless this is not a petitio principii, we are convinced that the structures are in place.
I 437
The elimination of faults is not an improvement in the theory.
>Progress, >Theories.
I 324
View/vision/seeing/theory/explanation/Hacking: what you see is best explained by the Fourier analysis - but you do not need the explanation to see.
>Explanations, >Best Explanation.
