  2. Collimated beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collimated_beam

    Collimated beam. In the lower picture, the light has been collimated. A collimated beam of light or other electromagnetic radiation has parallel rays, and therefore will spread minimally as it propagates. A laser beam is an archetypical example. A perfectly collimated light beam, with no divergence, would not disperse with distance.

  3. Stereoscopic acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_acuity

    A second peg, below it, can be moved back and forth until it is just detectably nearer than the fixed one. Stereoacuity is defined as the minimum angle detectable, calculated as the difference between the angles subtended by both positions, A and B. Stereoacuity is possible due to binocular disparity, i.e., the difference in their binocular ...

  4. Dirichlet's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_test

    An analogous statement for convergence of improper integrals is proven using integration by parts. If the integral of a function f is uniformly bounded over all intervals , and g is a non-negative monotonically decreasing function , then the integral of fg is a convergent improper integral.

  5. Convergence tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_tests

    The root test is stronger than the ratio test: whenever the ratio test determines the convergence or divergence of an infinite series, the root test does too, but not conversely. Integral test. The series can be compared to an integral to establish convergence or divergence.

  6. Eye examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_examination

    003434. LOINC. 29271-4. An eye examination is a series of tests performed to assess vision and ability to focus on and discern objects. It also includes other tests and examinations pertaining to the eyes. Eye examinations are primarily performed by an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or an orthoptist .

  7. Structured Illumination Light Sheet Microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_Illumination...

    Structured illumination light sheet microscopy (SI-LSM) is an optical imaging technique used for achieving volumetric imaging with high temporal and spatial resolution in all three dimensions. It combines the ability of light sheet microscopy to maintain spatial resolution throughout relatively thick samples with the higher axial and spatial ...

  8. Vergence (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometrical optics, vergence describes the curvature of optical wavefronts. [1] Vergence is defined as. where n is the medium's refractive index and r is the distance from the point source to the wavefront. Vergence is measured in units of dioptres (D) which are equivalent to m −1. [1] This describes the vergence in terms of optical power.

  9. Contrast transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_transfer_function

    Contrast transfer theory provides a quantitative method to translate the exit wavefunction to a final image. Part of the analysis is based on Fourier transforms of the electron beam wavefunction. When an electron wavefunction passes through a lens, the wavefunction goes through a Fourier transform. This is a concept from Fourier optics .
