释义 | stereoscopen. 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.
