Skiascope

A skioscope is an optical instrument that is used to measure angles between two surfaces. It consists of two lenses that are located at an angle to each other and form an angle between them. This angle is called the visual angle.

The skiascope is used in various fields, such as medicine, architecture, geodesy and others. For example, in medicine, a skiascope is used to determine the position of the eyeball in the orbit and to measure the angle between the eyeball and the cornea. In architecture, a skiascope is used to measure the angles of inclination of walls and ceilings. In geodesy, a skiascope is used to measure distances between objects on the ground.

The principle of operation of a skiascope is based on the fact that light passing through two lenses is divided into two beams, which then intersect on the screen. The angle between these beams is equal to the angle of view of the skiascope.

There are several types of skiascopes, differing in design and measurement accuracy. The most common are skiascopes with fixed lens installation and skiascopes that allow you to change the angle of view.

Examination under a microscope

A skiascope is a microscope that allows you to photograph objects using polarized light, resulting in an image with enhanced contrast between different elements. This is achieved by splitting the transmitted polarizing beam into two waves using a prism, then bending one of the waves and mixing it at the end point, thus simulating the effect of polarization.

The operating principle of a skiascope is based on the varying ability of different colors to be reflected from an object (and therefore pass through a prism). A short list of skiascope capabilities includes: the ability to change the brightness of image elements; the ability to display the features of microorganisms of various colors; obtaining accurate information about the intensity of light passing through the body; increasing the reliability of diagnoses based on
