103Pentagonal prism — In geometry, the pentagonal prism is a prism with a pentagonal base. It is a type of heptahedron.If faces are all regular, the pentagonal prism is a semiregular polyhedron, and the third in an infinite set of prisms formed by square sides and two …
104Hexagonal prism — In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base.It is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is mainly used with regular in front or implied, hence not meaning a hexagonal prism; in the general meaning the term octahedron it… …

107History of the single-lens reflex camera — The history of the single lens reflex camera predates the invention of photography in 1826/27 by one and a half centuries with the use of a reflex mirror in a camera obscura first described in 1676. Such SLR devices were popular as drawing aids… …
108Schmidt-Pechan prism — A Schmidt Pechan prism is a type of optical prism used to rotate an image by 180°. They are commonly used in binoculars as an image erecting system . Compared to binoculars using a Porro prism or Abbe Koenig a binoculars using a Schmidt Pechan… …
109Gyrated triangular prismatic honeycomb — The gyrated triangular prismatic honeycomb is a space filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3 space made up of triangular prisms. It is vertex uniform with 12 triangular prisms per vertex.It can be seen as parallel planes of square… …
110Optical mineralogy — A petrographic microscope, which is an optical microscope fitted with cross polarizing lenses, a conoscopic lens, and compensators (plates of anisotropic materials; gypsum plates and quartz wedges are common), for crystallographic analysis.… …
