  2. Conoscopic interference pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conoscopic_interference...

    The point where the isogyres is most tightly curved represents the position of each of the two optic axes present for a biaxial mineral, and thus the maximum separation between the two curves is diagnostic of the angle between the two optic axes for the mineral. This angle is called the optic angle and often notated as "2V". In some cases ...

  3. Telecentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens

    Bi-telecentric lens with 208 mm diameter front element and a C-mount camera interface 3D render simulating a photo taken with a fixed focal length and a telecentric lens. A telecentric lens is a special optical lens (often an objective lens or a camera lens) that has its entrance or exit pupil, or both, at infinity.

  4. Autocollimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocollimator

    Measuring with an electronic autocollimator is fast, easy, accurate, and will frequently be the most cost effective procedure. Used extensively in workshops, tool rooms, inspection departments and quality control laboratories worldwide, these highly sensitive instruments will measure extremely small angular displacements, squareness, twist and ...

  5. 2V - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2V

    2V or 2-V may refer to: 2V, IATA code for Amtrak; 2V angle, curved isogyre differences in a conoscopic interference pattern in optical crystallography; P-2V, a model of Lockheed P-2 Neptune; An-2V, a model of Antonov An-2; 2V (V-69), manufacturer's designation for Venera 5 spacecraft; 2VLY, call sign for Power FM 98.1

  6. Etendue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etendue

    A consequence of the conservation of etendue is the brightness theorem, which states that no linear optical system can increase the brightness of the light emitted from a source to a higher value than the brightness of the surface of that source (where "brightness" is defined as the optical power emitted per unit solid angle per unit emitting ...

  7. Angle of incidence (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    The angle of incidence, in geometric optics, is the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular (at 90 degree angle) to the surface at the point of incidence, called the normal. The ray can be formed by any waves, such as optical, acoustic, microwave, and X-ray. In the figure below, the line representing a ray makes an ...

  8. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    The amount of aberration due to astigmatism is proportional to the square of the angle between the rays from the object and the optical axis of the system. With care, an optical system can be designed to reduce or eliminate astigmatism. Such systems are called anastigmats.

  9. Topaz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topaz

    Topaz is a silicate mineral made of aluminum and fluorine with the chemical formula Al 2 Si O 4 (F, OH) 2. ... The 2V optical angle in topaz can range from 48° to 69 ...
