  • Schmidt Prism - Definition and Properties
    Article - 12 Feb 2014
    Schmidt prism, also referred to as Schmidt–Pechan prism, is a prism that reverts an image while deviating the line of sight by 45°. It is a type of optical roof prism.
  • Refractometer - Definition and Applications
    Article - 6 May 2014
    A refractometer is an optical device used for measuring the extent to which light is bent or refracted when it moves through a substance.
  • Pechan Prism: Definition and Working Principle
    Article - 18 Jul 2014
    Pechan prisms comprise two air-spaced components, and have the ability to revert (flip horizontally) or invert (flip vertically) an image, depending upon it's orientation. It can be used in...
  • What is a Focal Point?
    Article - 5 Aug 2014
    A focal point is a common point on the principal axis where all the light rays starting from the object converge.
  • Diverging Lens - Definition and Characteristics
    Article - 6 May 2014
    A lens is an optical device that transmits light by refraction; the incident beam is either converged or diverged based on the nature of the lens.
