Spotting scope. A 100mm spotting scope with a paraxial 30mm finderscope. A spotting scope is a compact lightweight portable telescope optimized for detailed observation of distant objects. [1] They are used as tripod mounted optical enhancement devices for various outdoor activities such as birdwatching, skygazing and other naturalist ...
An oblique prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces. Example: a parallelepiped is an oblique prism whose base is a parallelogram, or equivalently a polyhedron with six parallelogram faces. Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base ...
The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]
Refracting telescope. A refracting telescope (also called a refractor) is a type of optical telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image (also referred to a dioptric telescope ). The refracting telescope design was originally used in spyglasses and astronomical telescopes but is also used for long-focus camera lenses.
Star diagonal. A star diagonal, erecting lens or diagonal mirror is an angled mirror or prism used in telescopes that allows viewing from a direction that is perpendicular to the usual eyepiece axis. It allows more convenient and comfortable viewing when the telescope is pointed at, or near the zenith (i.e. directly overhead). Also, the ...
Herschel wedge. Herschel Wedge. Diagram of a Herschel Wedge and other solar viewing methods. A Herschel wedge or Herschel prism is an optical prism used in solar observation to refract most of the light out of the optical path, allowing safe visual observation. It was first proposed and used by astronomer John Herschel in the 1830s.
