It's similar to other optical devices like the telescope, microscope, periscope and other such instruments, that help to discover and unlock the secrets of the world and the universe.
Throughout the history of art, observing light and its encounter with matter has been an essential gesture in painting. Chiaroscuro, tenebrism, impressionism.
