    A view through a Tasco ProPoint red dot sight. The mid- to late 1970s saw the introduction of what are usually referred to as red dot sights, a type that gives the user a simple bright red dot as an aiming point. [27] The typical configuration for this sight is a compact curved mirror reflector design with a red light-emitting diode (LED) at ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_dot_sight

    A red dot sight is a common classification [1] for a non-magnifying reflector (or reflex) sight that provides an illuminated red dot to the user as a point of aim. A standard design uses a red light-emitting diode (LED) at the focus of collimating optics , which generates a dot-style illuminated reticle that stays in alignment with the firearm ...

    A convex secondary mirror is placed just to the side of the light entering the telescope, and positioned afocally so as to send parallel light on to the tertiary. The concave tertiary mirror is positioned exactly twice as far to the side of the entering beam as was the convex secondary, and its own radius of curvature distant from the secondary.

    Mangin mirrors were used in searchlights, where they produced a nearly true parallel beam. Many Catadioptric telescopes use negative lenses with a reflective coating on the backside that are referred to as “Mangin mirrors”, although they are not single-element objectives like the original Mangin, and some even predate Mangin's invention.

    [1] The R I value is also a function of the spatial geometry between the observer, light source, and reflector. Figures 1 and 2 show the observation angle and entrance angle between the automobile's headlights, bicycle, and driver. The observation angle is the angle formed by the light beam and the driver's line of sight.

  9. Random dot stereogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_dot_stereogram

    The process used to develop the first random-dot stereogram is illustrated below. 1. Create an image of suitable size. Fill it with random dots. Duplicate the image. 2. Select a region in one image, in this case, in the right image. 3. Shift this region horizontally by one or two dot diameters and fill in the empty region with new random dots.
