释义

stereoscopen.

Brit. /ˈstɛrɪə(ʊ)skəʊp/, /ˈstɪərɪə(ʊ)skəʊp/, U.S. /ˈstɛriəˌskoʊp/, /ˈstɪriəˌskoʊp/
Etymology: < Greek στερεός solid + -scope comb. form.
1. An instrument for obtaining, from two pictures (usually photographs) of an object, taken from slightly different points of view (corresponding to the positions of the two eyes), a single image giving the impression of solidity or relief, as in ordinary vision of the object itself.In the original form of the instrument ( reflecting stereoscope), invented by Wheatstone, the images were combined by means of mirrors placed at a suitable angle; the common form ( refracting or lenticular stereoscope), invented afterwards by Brewster, has two tubes each containing a lens, through which the two pictures are viewed by the corresponding eyes.
