  2. Optomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optomechanics

    Optomechanics is the manufacture and maintenance of optical parts and devices. This includes the design and manufacture of hardware used to hold and align elements in optical systems, such as: [1] Optical tables, breadboards, and rails; Mirror mounts; Optical mounts; Translation stages; Rotary stage; Optical fiber aligners; Pedestals and posts

  3. Optical comparator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_comparator

    An optical comparator (often called just a comparator in context) or profile projector is a device that applies the principles of optics to the inspection of manufactured parts. In a comparator, the magnified silhouette of a part is projected upon the screen, and the dimensions and geometry of the part are measured against prescribed limits .

  4. Movie projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_projector

    A movie projector (or film projector) is an opto-mechanical device for displaying motion picture film by projecting it onto a screen. Most of the optical and mechanical elements, except for the illumination and sound devices, are present in movie cameras. Modern movie projectors are specially built video projectors (see also digital cinema).

  5. Projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projector

    A projector or image projector is an optical device that projects an image (or moving images) onto a surface, commonly a projection screen. Most projectors create an image by shining a light through a small transparent lens , but some newer types of projectors can project the image directly, by using lasers .

  6. Slide projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_projector

    A 1960 slide projector. A slide projector is an optical device for projecting enlarged images of photographic slides onto a screen.Many projectors have mechanical arrangements to show a series of slides loaded into a special tray sequentially.

  7. Slotted optical switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slotted_optical_switch

    The slotted optical switch, sometimes known as opto switch or optical switch but not to be confused with the optical component, is a device comprising a photoemitter (e.g. LED) and a photodetector (e.g. photodiode) mounted in a single package so that the photoemitter normally illuminates the photodetector, but an opaque object can be inserted in a slot between them so as to break the beam.

  8. Overhead projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_projector

    In contrast, a modern LCD or DLP projector often uses an Ultra-high-performance lamp which has a higher luminous efficacy and lasts for thousands of hours. [5] A drawback of that technology is the warm up time required for such lamps. Older overhead projectors used a tubular quartz bulb which was mounted above a bowl-shaped polished reflector.

  9. List of CRT video projectors - Wikipedia
