    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_prism_dioptre_reflex_test

    Purpose. assess alignment of both eyes. The Four Prism Dioptre Reflex Test (also known as the 4 PRT, or 4 Prism Dioptre Base-out Test) is an objective, non-dissociative test used to prove the alignment of both eyes (i.e. the presence of binocular single vision) by assessing motor fusion. [1] Through the use of a 4 dioptre base out prism ...

  3. Amici prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amici_prism

    Amici prism. An Amici prism, named for the astronomer Giovanni Battista Amici, is a type of compound dispersive prism used in spectrometers. The Amici prism consists of two triangular prisms in contact, with the first typically being made from a medium-dispersion crown glass, and the second from a higher-dispersion flint glass.

  4. Uppendahl prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppendahl_prism

    An Uppendahl prism [1] is an erecting prism, i.e. a special reflection prism that is used to invert an image (rotation by 180°). The erecting system consists of three partial prisms made of optical glass with a high refractive index cemented together to form a symmetric assembly and is [2] used in microscopy as well as in binoculars technology.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow_syndrome

    Visual snow syndrome. Visual Snow can appear at any time, but it commonly appears at birth, late teenage years, and early adulthood. Visual snow syndrome ( VSS) is an uncommon neurological condition in which the primary symptom is that affected individuals see persistent flickering white, black, transparent, or colored dots across the whole ...

  6. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    Lamps as seen through a prism. In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow ). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1] This is a result of the prism material's index of ...

  7. Upside down goggles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside_down_goggles

    Upside down goggles can be used to demonstrate human adaptation to inverted vision, and as a method of preventing motion sickness. Hubert Dolezal recommended using upside down goggles for "nausea adaptation" for space travel. They can also be used to train spatial abilities and possibly cognitive functions.

  8. Dichroic prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichroic_prism

    Dichroic prism. A dichroic prism is a prism that splits light into two beams of differing wavelengths (colour). A trichroic prism assembly combines two dichroic prisms to split an image into 3 colours, typically as red, green and blue of the RGB colour model. They are usually constructed of one or more glass prisms with dichroic optical ...

  9. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

    Four-dimensional space ( 4D) is the mathematical extension of the concept of three-dimensional space (3D). Three-dimensional space is the simplest possible abstraction of the observation that one needs only three numbers, called dimensions, to describe the sizes or locations of objects in the everyday world.
