2. George M. Stratton - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_M._Stratton

   George Malcolm Stratton (September 26, 1865 – October 8, 1957) was an American psychologist who pioneered the study of perception in vision by wearing special glasses which inverted images up and down and left and right. He studied under one of the founders of modern psychology, Wilhelm Wundt, and started one of the first experimental ...

3. Belay glasses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belay_glasses

   The prismatic lenses of the belay glasses are arranged so as to bend light from above through total internal reflection into the observer's eye, allowing the belayer to observe the climber while maintaining a comfortable head/neck position. The design based on the eyeglasses frame provides for a split field of vision: the peripheral field ...

4. Binoculars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

   In roof prism designs, optically relevant prism angles must be correct within 2 arcseconds (1 / 1,800 of 1 degree) to avoid seeing an obstructive double image. Maintaining such tight production tolerances for the alignment of their optical elements by laser or interference (collimation) at an affordable price point is challenging.

5. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

   Prism (optics) An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light.

7. Dioptre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre

   A dioptre ( British spelling) or diopter ( American spelling ), symbol dpt, is a unit of measurement with dimension of reciprocal length, equivalent to one reciprocal metre, 1 dpt = 1 m−1. It is normally used to express the optical power of a lens or curved mirror, which is a physical quantity equal to the reciprocal of the focal length ...
