  2. Single-lens reflex camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera

    A single-lens reflex camera ( SLR) is a camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system (hence "reflex" from the mirror's reflection) that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured. With twin lens reflex and rangefinder cameras, the viewed image could be significantly different from the final ...

  3. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    Chromatic aberration. In optics, chromatic aberration ( CA ), also called chromatic distortion, color aberration, color fringing, or purple fringing, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. [1] [2] It is caused by dispersion: the refractive index of the lens elements varies with the wavelength of light.

  4. Abbe refractometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe_refractometer

    In the Abbe refractometer the liquid sample is sandwiched into a thin layer between an illuminating prism and a refracting prism. The refracting prism is made of a glass with a high refractive index (e.g., 1.75) and the refractometer is designed to be used with samples having a refractive index smaller than that of the refracting prism.

  5. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The human eye is an organ of the sensory nervous system that reacts to visible light and allows the use of visual information for various purposes including seeing things, keeping balance, and maintaining circadian rhythm . Arizona Eye Model. "A" is accommodation in diopters. The eye can be considered as a living optical device.

  6. Image geometry correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_geometry_correction

    Calculation of the image geometry correction transformation The image geometry correction transformation can be calculated by predictive geometry (i.e. calculating exactly where an image should land on a regular surface such as sphere or a cylinder), or by an automatic optical feedback system (i.e. a camera can be used to evaluate the alignment ...

  7. Upside down goggles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside_down_goggles

    Upside down goggles, also known as "invertoscopes" by Russian researchers, [1] are optical instruments that invert the image received by the retinas upside down. They are used to study human visual perception, particularly psychological process of building a visual image in the brain. Objects viewed through such a device appear upside down and ...

  8. Exposure compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_compensation

    Exposure compensation is a technique for adjusting the exposure indicated by a photographic exposure meter, in consideration of factors that may cause the indicated exposure to result in a less-than-optimal image. Factors considered may include unusual lighting distribution, variations within a camera system, filters, non-standard processing ...

  9. Eye pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_pattern

    In telecommunication, an eye pattern, also known as an eye diagram, is an oscilloscope display in which a digital signal from a receiver is repetitively sampled and applied to the vertical input ( y-axis ), while the data rate is used to trigger the horizontal sweep ( x-axis ). It is so called because, for several types of coding, the pattern ...
