Binocular, optical instrument, usually handheld, for providing a magnified stereoscopic view of distant objects, consisting of two similar telescopes, one for each eye, mounted on a single frame.
These giant, hovering, wedgelike monstrosities, each with a single laser-beam eye mounted on the end of a serpentlike neck, lay waste to the great cities of the world: terrified citizens pour through the streets; we get glimpses of cherished landmarks that have been cracked in two or decapitated (mournful, horrible images that shame the destructo-fest of the thundering "Independence Day").
Any small misalignment of the artificial eye mounting additionally produced a much greater tip/tilt wavefront aberration.
Youngsters can ogle the collection of glass eyes, mounted insects and stuffed mice, while you consider the Japanese garden tools, exotic bromeliads and rare teas.
Tullimonstrum, however, is a far from typical cyclostome, not least in the bizarre handlebar arrangement of its eyes, mounted on the ends of a rigid traverse bar.
A smaller relative of Anomalocaris is the bizarre Opabinia, with its five eyes mounted on an arthropod-like body and a long nozzlelike structure fitted with a single pair of claws that protrudes forward from the head.
All-seeing eyes mounted on hydraulic stalks soared towards the ceiling from the backs of flat-bed trucks, like high-tech versions of the "car periscope" trialed by Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Continuing with the theme of reflection, he created two small golden baubles shaped like beading eyes, mounted on a door to the gardens.
Living chelicerates have both compound eyes (only in horseshoe crabs, as the compound eye in the other clades has been reduced to a cluster of no more than five pairs of ocelli), mounted on the sides of the head, plus pigment-cup ocelli ("little eyes"), mounted in the middle.
Later, when I got up and looked in the mirror, instead of my face, I saw a large crenellated matzo ball with a few grey wires stuck tenuously to the top and sides where my hair used to be, bloodshot eyes mounted at uneven locations near the nose area.
