Answer:
1. Compact units containing optical components such as bandpass filters and dichroic mirrors. For example, a low cost fluorescence or confocal microscope can be built by combining a laser, optical blocks, and microscope objective lenses.
2. The lateral displacement is directly proportional to the thickness of the glass slab. When the light enters a glass slab,the light rays are refracted. Now,the lateral displacement is the final distance between the incident ray and the emergent ray
