  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism dioptres. Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript. A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2]

  3. PRISM model checker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_model_checker

    PRISM model checker. PRISM is a probabilistic model checker, a formal verification software tool for the modelling and analysis of systems that exhibit probabilistic behaviour. [1] One source of such systems is the use of randomization, for example in communication protocols like Bluetooth and FireWire, or in security protocols such as Crowds ...

  4. Image scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scanner

    Image scanner. A flatbed scanner. Documents or images are placed face-down beneath the cover (shown closed here). An image scanner —often abbreviated to just scanner —is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting or an object and converts it to a digital image.

  5. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The strength of the prism is increased until the streak of the light passes through the centre of the prism, as the strength of the prism indicates the amount of deviation present. The Maddox rod is a handheld instrument composed of red parallel plano convex cylinder lens , which refracts light rays so that a point source of light is seen as a ...

    Millennials and generations after will 'pay the full cost of fixing Social Security'. If Congress fails to act until 2035, the youngest member of Generation X will be 55 and will most likely be ...

  7. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus

    Incomitant strabismus cannot be fully corrected by prism glasses, because the eyes would require different degrees of prismatic correction dependent on the direction of the gaze. Incomitant strabismus of the eso- or exo-type are classified as "alphabet patterns": they are denoted as A- or V- or more rarely λ -, Y- or X-pattern depending on the ...

  8. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called ...

  9. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    The Micro Four Thirds system cameras and lenses perform automatic distortion correction using correction parameters that are stored in each lens's firmware, and are applied automatically by the camera and raw converter software. The optics of most of these lenses feature substantially more distortion than their counterparts in systems that do ...

  10. Flat-field correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-field_correction

    Flat-field correction (FFC) is a digital imaging technique to mitigate the image detector pixel-to-pixel sensitivity and distortions in the optical path. It is a standard calibration procedure in everything from personal digital cameras to large telescopes.

  11. Horror fusionis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_fusionis

    Ophthalmology. In ophthalmology, horror fusionis is a condition in which the eyes have an unsteady deviation, with the extraocular muscles performing spasm-like movements that continuously shift the eyes away from the position in which they would be directed to the same point in space, giving rise to diplopia. Even when the double vision images ...
