  2. Spherometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherometer

    A spherometer is an instrument used for the precise measurement of the radius of curvature of a curved surface. Originally, these instruments were primarily used by opticians to measure the curvature of the surface of a lens .

  3. Lens clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_clock

    Lens clock. A lens clock is a mechanical dial indicator that is used to measure the dioptric power of a lens.It is a specialized version of a spherometer.A lens clock measures the curvature of a surface, but gives the result as an optical power in diopters, assuming the lens is made of a material with a particular refractive index.

    Now you should have a nice circle, with a solid black outline that is completely closed. If you have a Pac-Man shape or an arc, simply click the "make whole" button in the upper toolbar. Changing object fill colours using HSV sliders. Adding eyes. Now for the next step, create a smaller circle and then right click its outline (on Mac, use apple ...

    Radius of curvature sign convention for optical design. Radius of curvature (ROC) has specific meaning and sign convention in optical design.A spherical lens or mirror surface has a center of curvature located either along or decentered from the system local optical axis.

  9. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    Whereas in a conventional hand drawn technical drawing, if a mistake is found, or a modification is required, a new drawing must be made from scratch, the 2D CAD system allows a copy of the original to be modified, saving considerable time. 2D CAD systems can be used to create plans for large projects such as buildings and aircraft but provide ...
