  2. Balanced-arm lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced-arm_lamp

    A balanced-arm lamp has a base, a stand or body, (in most cases) two connected arms (in many cases fitted with springs), and a lamp-head. The lamp can be moved into almost any position, and the balancing device will maintain the position until moved again. The same overall mechanism can be employed in other devices with similar requirements ...

  3. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

    A closeup of a 175-W mercury-vapor lamp. The small diagonal cylinder at the bottom of the arc tube is a resistor which supplies current to the starter electrode. A mercury-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light. [1]

  4. 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.

    A Source Four ERS with major parts labeled 20 PAR can lighting instruments. Stage lighting instruments (lanterns, or luminaires in Europe) are used in stage lighting to illuminate theatrical productions, concerts, and other performances taking place in live performance venues.

  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 quantity).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_Genesis_engine

    The Genesis engine was also used in the Yamaha YZF-R1, FZX700, FZ750, and the USA-only FZ700. Other applications ranged from the Supersport YZF-R6 and YZF-R1 models, using electronic fuel injection with YCCT and YCCI, to the less extreme but still powerful Yamaha FZ6 (4 valve per cylinder) and FZ1 Fazer line, which had a simpler fuel injection ...

  8. Loupe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loupe

    A photographic loupe for examining film and prints. A loupe (/ ˈ l uː p / LOOP) is a simple, small magnification device used to see small details more closely. [1] They generally have higher magnification than a magnifying glass, and are designed to be held or worn close to the eye.

  9. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

    High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) are a type of electrical gas-discharge lamp which produces light by means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina arc tube. [1] This tube is filled with noble gas and often also contains suitable metal or metal salts.
