2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   Prism dioptres. Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript. A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2]

3. Single-lens reflex camera - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera

   A single-lens reflex camera ( SLR) is a camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system (hence "reflex" from the mirror's reflection) that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured. With twin lens reflex and rangefinder cameras, the viewed image could be significantly different from the final ...

4. Lenticular lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_lens

   Lenticular lenses are sometimes used as corrective lenses for improving vision. A bifocal lens could be considered a simple example. Lenticular eyeglass lenses have been employed to correct extreme hyperopia (farsightedness), a condition often created by cataract surgery when lens implants are not possible.

5. Fixation disparity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_disparity

   Fixation disparity. Fixation disparity is a tendency of the eyes to drift in the direction of the heterophoria. While the heterophoria refers to a fusion-free vergence state, the fixation disparity refers to a small misalignment of the visual axes when both eyes are open in an observer with normal fusion and binocular vision. [1]

6. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

   Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the power of the lens relative to ...

7. Reflex finder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflex_finder

   A reflex finder is a viewfinder system with a mirror placed behind a lens. The light passing through the lens is reflected by the mirror to a focusing screen, usually ground glass. The image formed on this ground glass can be observed directly, giving a waist-level reflex finder, or through a redressing optical device (set of mirrors or prism ...

8. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

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

   Prism (optics) An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light. At least one surface must be angled — elements with two parallel surfaces are not prisms. The most familiar type of optical prism is the triangular prism, which has a triangular base and rectangular sides.

9. Ilford Manual of Photography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilford_Manual_of_Photography

   The Ilford Manual quickly became the staple technical book for the professional or serious amateur photographer. It remained so for some time, and with each new edition further information was added so that it might remain relevant. The ninth edition was the first to include chapters on the newly emerging field of digital photography. The tenth ...
