Aid in focusing (4)

I believe the answer is:

lens

(Other definitions for lens that I've seen before include "French city" , "Device to converge or diverge light" , "Refracting device" , "Light-focusing device" , "Piece of glass in optical instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
