| | The Fresnel lens intensifies the light by bending (or refracting) and magnifying the source light through crystal prisms into concentrated beams. | | | Even so, one keeper stayed for about twenty-four years, a testament to his devotion and love of Point Reyes! | | | With this care, the light can be preserved for future generations - to teach visitors of maritime history and of the people who worked the light, day in and day out, rain or shine, for so many years. |
