  2. Deck prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_prism

    The deck prism laid flush into the deck, the glass prism refracted and dispersed natural light into the space below from a small deck opening without weakening the planks or becoming a fire hazard. In normal usage, the prism hangs below the overhead and disperses the light sideways; the top is flat and installed flush with the deck, becoming ...

  3. Porro prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porro_prism

    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 rotated 180°.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophthalmic_trial_frame

    An ideal trial frame have minimum 3 cells, one each for holding spherical lens, cylindrical lens and other tools like occluder or pinhole. [4] Angle for axis of astigmatism is marked on outermost visible cell There are knobes to adjust pupillary distance, side angle, height and cylindrical lens axis. [5]

  5. Hirschberg test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirschberg_test

    The Krimsky test is essentially the Hirschberg test, but with prisms employed to quantitate deviation of ocular misalignment by determining how much prism is required to centre the reflex [2] The Krimsky test is advisably used for patients with tropias, but not with phorias.

    Because the shorter wavelengths are the blue wavelengths, this gives rise to a blue hue in the light that comes out of the eye. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] The blue iris is an example of a structural color because it relies only on the interference of light through the turbid medium to generate the color.

    For example, a constant left hypertropia exists when a person's left eye is always aimed higher than the right. A person with an intermittent right esotropia has a right eye that occasionally drifts toward the person's nose, but at other times is able to align with the gaze of the left eye.

  8. Pentaprism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentaprism

    A pentaprism. A perspective drawing showing a roof pentaprism commonly used in a single lens reflex camera (SLR). The image is flipped laterally by the prism. A pentaprism is a five-sided reflecting prism used to deviate a beam of light by a constant 90°, even if the entry beam is not at 90° to the prism.

    Amulet from the tomb of Tutankhamun, fourteenth century BC, incorporating the Eye of Horus beneath a disk and crescent symbol representing the moon [2]. The ancient Egyptian god Horus was a sky deity, and many Egyptian texts say that Horus's right eye was the sun and his left eye the moon. [3]
