Ellipsoidal reflector spot (abbreviated to ERS, or colloquially ellipsoidal or ellipse) is the name for a type of stage lighting instrument, named for the ellipsoidal reflector used to collect and direct the light through a barrel that contains a lens or lens train. The optics of an ERS instrument are roughly similar to those of a 35 mm slide ...
Rival lighting company, Kliegl Brothers, released their own Elipsoidial Reflector Spotlight that same year, calling it "Klieglight". It is unclear which company was first to develop the new technology, but both had developed the technology earlier and had to wait until a lamp was developed by GE that would work in the new fixture.
A toroidal mirror is a reflector whose surface is a section of a torus, defined by two radii of curvature. [1] Such reflectors are easier to manufacture than mirrors with a surface described by a paraboloid or ellipsoid.
A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image. The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century by Isaac Newton as an alternative to the refracting telescope which, at that time, was a design that suffered from severe chromatic ...
An oblique projection of a focus-balanced parabolic reflector. It is sometimes useful if the centre of mass of a reflector dish coincides with its focus.This allows it to be easily turned so it can be aimed at a moving source of light, such as the Sun in the sky, while its focus, where the target is located, is stationary.
A Lieberkühn reflector [2] (also known as Lieberkühn mirror [3] or simply Lieberkühn [2] [4]) is an illumination device for incident light illumination (epi-illumination) in light microscopes. It encircles the objective, with the mirrored surface facing towards the specimen. This allows illuminating an opaque object from the side of the ...
Nike revealed the Team USA track and field kits for the 2024 Olympics on Thursday. They weren't well received.. One picture of the women's kit in particular fomented a fierce backlash from female ...
A modulating retro-reflector (MRR) system combines an optical retro-reflector and an optical modulator to allow optical communications [1] and sometimes other functions such as programmable signage. [2] Free space optical communication technology has emerged in recent years as an attractive alternative to the conventional radio frequency (RF ...
