The Cooke triplet is a photographic lens designed and patented in 1893 by Dennis Taylor who was employed as chief engineer by T. Cooke & Sons of York. It was the first lens system that allowed the elimination of most of the optical distortion or aberration at the outer edge of the image.
While in principle aspheric surfaces can take a wide variety of forms, aspheric lenses are often designed with surfaces of the form = (+ (+)) + + +, [3]where the optic axis is presumed to lie in the z direction, and () is the sag—the z-component of the displacement of the surface from the vertex, at distance from the axis.
Rouleaux (singular is rouleau) are stacks or aggregations of red blood cells (RBCs) that form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells in vertebrates. The flat surface of the discoid RBCs gives them a large surface area to make contact with and stick to each other; thus forming a rouleau.
It could then instantly send notifications to a range of contacts and/or emergency services, plus there’s two-way audio to talk with the person who fell. The camera offers an 87-degree view and ...
The Schmidt camera is a wide-field photographic telescope, with the corrector plate at the center of curvature of the primary mirror, producing an image at a focus inside the tube assembly at the prime focus where a curved film plate or detector is mounted. The relatively thin and lightweight corrector allows Schmidt cameras to be constructed ...
Researchers believe this method provides a less invasive way of testing stroke risk than traditional tests. While some may say the eyes are a window to the soul, for quite a while, ...
The spherocytes create variation in the size of the red blood cells on average, thus expanding the distribution. Red blood cell count (RBC): Sometimes increased early (normal range males: 4.3–5.9 million/mm 3; normal range females: 3.5–5.5 million/mm 3). The loss of surface area per cells cause the body to mass produce red blood cells.
Note the increased central pallor of the red blood cells. Hypochromic anemia is a generic term for any type of anemia in which the red blood cells are paler than normal. (Hypo- refers to less, and chromic means colour.) A normal red blood cell has a biconcave disk shape and will have an area of pallor in its center when viewed microscopically.
