  2. Optical coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

    The simplest optical coatings are thin layers of metals, such as aluminium, which are deposited on glass substrates to make mirror surfaces, a process known as silvering. The metal used determines the reflection characteristics of the mirror; aluminium is the cheapest and most common coating, and yields a reflectivity of around 88%-92% over the ...

  3. Anti-reflective coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coating

    Thick-film effects arise because of the difference in the index of refraction between the layers above and below the coating (or film); in the simplest case, these three layers are the air, the coating, and the glass. Thick-film coatings do not depend on how thick the coating is, so long as the coating is much thicker than a wavelength of light.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    Measuring 4–8 μm in diameter, an enamel rod, formally called an enamel prism, is a tightly packed mass of hydroxyapatite crystallites in an organized pattern. [2] In cross section, it is best compared to a keyhole, with the top, or head, oriented toward the crown of the tooth, and the bottom, or tail, oriented toward the root of the tooth.

  5. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    An oblique prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces. Example: a parallelepiped is an oblique prism whose base is a parallelogram, or equivalently a polyhedron with six parallelogram faces. Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base ...

  6. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism lenses (here unusually thick) are used for pre-operative prism adaptation. Eye care professionals use prism correction as a component of some eyeglass prescriptions.A lens which includes some amount of prism correction will displace the viewed image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both directions.

  7. Glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasses

    Pinhole glasses are a type of corrective glasses that do not use a lens. Pinhole glasses do not actually refract the light or change focal length. Instead, they create a diffraction limited system, which has an increased depth of field, similar to using a small aperture in photography. This form of correction has many limitations that prevent ...
