Double Porro prism or Porro 1 optical system. Porro prisms are most often used in pairs, forming a double Porro prism. A second prism rotated 90° with respect to the first, is placed such that light will traverse both prisms. The net effect of the prism system is a beam parallel to but displaced from its original direction, with the image ...
Cuboid. In geometry, a cuboid is a quadrilateral -faced convex hexahedron (a polyhedron with six faces). "Cuboid" means "like a cube ", in the sense of a convex solid which can be transformed into a cube by adjusting the lengths of its edges or/and the angles between its adjacent faces. In general mathematical language, a cuboid is a convex ...
e Lens of the observer's eye. f Right-angled prism. g Image-erecting prism. A periscope is an instrument for observation over, around or through an object, obstacle or condition that prevents direct line-of-sight observation from an observer's current position.
Theodolite. A direct-readout theodolite, manufactured in the Soviet Union in 1958 and used for topographic surveying. A theodolite ( / θiˈɒdəˌlaɪt /) [1] is a precision optical instrument for measuring angles between designated visible points in the horizontal and vertical planes. The traditional use has been for land surveying, but it is ...

Diopside derives its name from the Greek dis, "twice", and òpsè, "face" in reference to the two ways of orienting the vertical prism .
Prism adaptation is a sensory-motor adaptation that occurs after the visual field has been artificially shifted laterally or vertically. It was first introduced by Hermann von Helmholtz in late 19th-century Germany as supportive evidence for his perceptual learning theory (Helmholtz, 1909/1962). [1] Since its discovery, prism adaptation has been suggested to improve spatial deficits in ...
