  2. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    Vertical prism ( base-up, or base-down) can also be added into the trial frames to separate the two red lines (This avoids confusion if the patients claim that they only see one red line). The degree of deviation and the direction (incyclo or excyclo) can be determined by the angle of rotation that causes the line images to appear horizontal ...

  3. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism[1] is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform. The triangular prism can be used in constructing another polyhedron.

  4. Spherical trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_trigonometry

    Spherical trigonometry. The octant of a sphere is a spherical triangle with three right angles. Spherical trigonometry is the branch of spherical geometry that deals with the metrical relationships between the sides and angles of spherical triangles, traditionally expressed using trigonometric functions. On the sphere, geodesics are great circles.

  5. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    Prism (geometry) In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the bases are translations of the bases.

  6. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    Having radius r and altitude (height) h, the surface area of a right circular cylinder, oriented so that its axis is vertical, consists of three parts: the area of the top base: πr 2; the area of the bottom base: πr 2; the area of the side: 2πrh; The area of the top and bottom bases is the same, and is called the base area, B.

  7. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. [1] Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex.

  8. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    Dispersive prism. In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1] This is a result of the prism material's index of refraction ...

  9. Triaugmented triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triaugmented_triangular_prism

    The triaugmented triangular prism, in geometry, is a convex polyhedron with 14 equilateral triangles as its faces. It can be constructed from a triangular prism by attaching equilateral square pyramids to each of its three square faces. The same shape is also called the tetrakis triangular prism, [1] tricapped trigonal prism, [2 ...
