  2. Extraocular muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraocular_muscles

    To avoid double vision from non-corresponding points, the eye with the prism must move up or down, following the image passing through the prism. Likewise conjugate torsion (rolling) on the anteroposterior axis (from the front to the back) can occur naturally, such as when one tips one's head to one shoulder; the torsion, in the opposite ...

  3. Yoke (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoke_(disambiguation)

    A yoke is a device borne across the shoulders of animals or humans, for example to harness draught animals together, or to assist humans (see carrying pole) in transporting heavy or awkward burdens. Yoke may also refer to:

  4. Wollaston prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollaston_prism

    A Wollaston prism. A Wollaston prism is an optical device, invented by William Hyde Wollaston, that manipulates polarized light. It separates light into two separate linearly polarized outgoing beams with orthogonal polarization. [1] The two beams will be polarized according to the optical axis of the two right angle prisms.

    A yoke, alternatively known as a control wheel or a control column, is a device used for piloting some fixed-wing aircraft. [1]

  6. Deflection yoke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_yoke

    Cathode ray tube, showing the yoke (copper coils and white plastic former) around the rear neck of the tube. A deflection yoke is a kind of magnetic lens, used in cathode ray tubes to scan the electron beam both vertically and horizontally over the whole screen. In a CRT television, the electron beam is moved in a raster scan on the screen. By ...

  9. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).
