  2. Horror fusionis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_fusionis

    Horror fusionis is a rare condition and normally appears only in patients who have been treated by means of surgery or other interventions. [2] Attempts to achieve stereoscopic vision, in particular anti-suppression therapy and other orthoptic exercises, may lead to double vision as undesired side effect, in particular also to horror fusionis.

  3. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases.

  4. Compass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass

    A modern military compass, with included sight device for aligning. A compass is a device that shows the cardinal directions used for navigation and geographic orientation. It commonly consists of a magnetized needle or other element, such as a compass card or compass rose, which can pivot to align itself with magnetic north.

  5. Congenital fourth nerve palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_fourth_nerve_palsy

    Prism lenses set to make minor optical changes in the vertical alignment may be prescribed instead of or after surgery to fine-tune the correction. Prism lenses do not address torsional misalignment and this may limit their use in certain cases. An additional consideration of prism lenses is that they must be worn at all times.

  6. Prism compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_compressor

    A prism compressor is an optical device used to shorten the duration of a positively chirped ultrashort laser pulse by giving different wavelength components a ...

  7. Wollaston prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollaston_prism

    The Wollaston prism consists of two orthogonal prisms of birefringent material—typically a uniaxial material such as calcite. [1] [2] These prisms are cemented together on their base (traditionally with Canada balsam) to form two right triangle prisms with perpendicular optic axes. Outgoing light beams diverge from the prism as ordinary and ...

  8. Lenslok - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenslok

    Lenslok was released in 1985 as a plastic lens in a foldaway frame. [3] The Lenslok device was essentially a row of prisms arranged vertically in a plastic holder. Before the game started, a two-letter code was displayed on the screen, but it was corrupted by being split into vertical bands which were then rearranged on screen.

  9. Refractometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractometer

    There are several subtly-different designs for controlling the temperature; but there are some key factors common to all, such as high-precision temperature sensors and Peltier devices to control the temperature of the sample and the prism. The temperature control of these devices should be designed so that the variation in sample temperature ...
