  2. One-way mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_mirror

    One-way mirrors for upper-level observation deck viewing down into a classroom (University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire) A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror [1] (or one-way glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective from one side and transparent from the other. The perception of ...

    The optical boxes were produced in three versions for 15 + 1 ⁄ 2, 17 + 3 ⁄ 4 and 19 + 7 ⁄ 8 inch [diagonal] screens. Two further sizes were available for front projection onto 44 or 52 inch screens. [13] The difference was solely the position of the tube's screen relative to the concave mirror and the optical characteristic of the Schmidt ...

  4. Wikipedia:Mirror test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirror_test

    This essay, Mirror test, refers to running tests, such as for template operations, based on incorrect, or invalid, test data, which can give the appearance that there are defects, or perhaps nothing might appear wrong, when in fact, the real errors are in the test data instead. The essay title "Mirror test" relates to the main mirror for the ...

  5. Foucault knife-edge test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_knife-edge_test

    Foucault test setup to measure a mirror. The Foucault knife-edge test is an optical test to accurately measure the shape of concave curved mirrors. It is commonly used by amateur telescope makers for figuring primary mirrors in reflecting telescopes. It uses a relatively simple, inexpensive apparatus compared to other testing techniques.

  6. Null corrector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_corrector

    The test only requires that the pinhole be located at the center of sphere defined by the mirror's surface. A null corrector is an optical device used in the testing of large aspheric mirrors. A spherical mirror of any size can be tested relatively easily using standard optical components such as laser , mirrors , beamsplitters , and converging ...

    Eisenberg – Pearson Two-mirror Three-surface Eisenberg solid three mirror anastigmat. A variation of the Korsch design is the Two-Mirror three-surface telescope [6] introduced by Shai Eisenberg and Earl T. Pearson in 1987. Employing the Korsch equations with minimal modifications, the number of mirrors is reduced from three to two by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-reversing_mirror

    Comparison of reflections of a pen in an ordinary mirror (left) and two perpendicular mirrors forming the first type of non-reversing mirror (right). The latter also illustrates the visible line in the middle if measures are not taken to minimise it. A non-reversing mirror can be made by connecting two regular mirrors at their edges at a 90 ...
