Sentence examples for parallel to the optical axis from inspiring English sources

When the reflected light beam from the ice basal face became exactly parallel to the optical axis, interference fringes suddenly appeared on the basal face.

Birefringence is the difference between the refractive index parallel to the optical axis of the crystal and the refractive index perpendicular to the optical axis.

The axes of the millions of tubes that comprise the input and output MCPs are not parallel to the optical axis but are canted ("biased") at an angle of 6° in opposite directions as shown in Figure 7.3.

One of the implications of Snell's law is that light traveling along all paths parallel to the optical axis in object space will be bent by a spherical lens such that they pass through this tick mark.

Unlike a plane mirror, which yields images free of aberrations, a lens is an imperfect image producer, becoming ideal only for rays passing through its centre parallel to the optical axis (a line through the centre, perpendicular to the lens surfaces).

This means that we can apply the geometry of the first ray to trace a third ray, which leaves the gray dot, passes through a tick mark one focal length to the left of the lens, then bends at the lens to become parallel to the optical axis on the right side of the lens.

The points on the bottom surface of the bubble were projected to the correct location of the bubble top surface parallel to the optical (z) axis to find the point at which each ray met the liquid-air interface.

We define the center of the scan as the unique position where light is reflected from a tangent plane that contains the coverslip-buffer interface such that the optical path will be parallel to the optical (z) axis (Fig. 3).

Therefore, when the scan position is directly beneath the center of the sphere, light is reflected from a tangent plane that is parallel to the plane of the coverslip-buffer interface, and consequently the optical path will be parallel to the optical (z) axis.

Enucleated eyes were placed in custom-designed methacrylate eye-holders mounted on a micro-positioning stage in front of the microscope (with the optical axis parallel to the optical table).

The rotation of the glass capillary around its central axis helped to adjust the direction of the basal face to the optical axis of the interference microscope.
