  The purpose of this study is to put forward the conditions under which the principal rays are valid through experiments by means of discovering the paraxial rays. The result of this study suggests a true understanding of the valid conditions for use of principle rays and the reasons of obtaining more than one image during the experiments conducted with nonparaxial rays. This experiment may be used for showing the condition of paraxial ray before stepping into image formation through principle rays.
