  2. Trouble light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trouble_light

    A trouble light using a compact fluorescent lamp. From top to bottom are a hook, a cage, the switch and a handle in one molding. A trouble light, also known as a rough service light, drop light, or inspection lamp, is a special lamp used to illuminate obscure places and able to handle moderate abuse.

  3. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century.

  4. Loupe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loupe

    Loupe-mounted lights used to be fed by fiber optic cables that connected to either a wall-mounted or table-top light source. Newer models feature a more convenient LED lamp within the loupe-mounted light and an electric cord coming from either the conventional wall-mounted or table-top light source or a belt clip rechargeable battery pack.

  5. Borescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borescope

    Schematic view of a rigid borescope Borescope in use, showing typical view through the device. A borescope (occasionally called a boroscope, though this spelling is nonstandard) is an optical instrument designed to assist visual inspection of narrow, difficult-to-reach cavities, consisting of a rigid or flexible tube with an eyepiece or display on one end, an objective lens or camera on the ...

  6. Magnifying glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnifying_glass

    Magnifying glass on an arm lamp. The magnification of a magnifying glass depends upon where it is placed between the user's eye and the object being viewed, and the total distance between them. The magnifying power is equivalent to angular magnification (this should not be confused with optical power, which is a different

  7. Naked eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_eye

    Observing a nearby small object without a magnifying glass or a microscope, the size of the object depends on the viewing distance. Under normal lighting conditions (light source ~ 1000 lumens at height 600–700 mm, viewing angle ~ 35 degrees) the angular size recognized by naked eye will be round 1 arc minute = 1/60 degrees = 0.0003 radians.

  8. Optical instrument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_instrument

    An illustration of some of the optical devices available for laboratory work in England in 1858. An optical instrument is a device that processes light waves (or photons), either to enhance an image for viewing or to analyze and determine their characteristic properties.

  9. Optical comparator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_comparator

    The profile projector is widely used for complex-shape stampings, gears, cams, threads and comparing the measured contour model.The profile projector is hence widely used in precision machinery manufacturing, including aviation, aerospace industry, watches and clocks, electronics, instrumentation industry, research institutes and detection metering stations at all levels, etc.
