| parallax | 1. The apparent displacement, or difference of position, of an object, as seen from two different stations, or points of view. 2. <astronomy> The apparent difference in position of a body (as the sun, or a star) as seen from some point on the earth's surface, and as seen from some other conventional point, as the earth's center or the sun. Annual parallax, the greatest value of the heliocentric parallax, or the greatest annual apparent change of place of a body as seen from the earth and sun; as, the annual parallax of a fixed star. Binocular parallax, the apparent difference in position of an object as seen separately by one eye, and then by the other, the head remaining unmoved. Diurnal, or Geocentric, parallax, the parallax of a body with reference to the earth's center. This is the kind of parallax that is generally understood when the term is used without qualification. Heliocentric parallax, the parallax of a body with reference to the sun, or the angle subtended at the body by lines drawn from it to the earth and sun; as, the heliocentric parallax of a planet. Horizontal parallax, the geocentric parallx of a heavenly body when in the horizon, or the angle subtended at the body by the earth's radius. Optical parallax, the apparent displacement in position undergone by an object when viewed by either eye singly. Parallax of the cross wires (of an optical instrument), their apparent displacement when the eye changes its position, caused by their not being exactly in the focus of the object glass. Stellar parallax, the annual parallax of a fixed star. Origin: Gr. Alternation, the mutual inclination of two lines forming an angle, fr. To change a little, go aside, deviate; beside, beyond + to change: cf. F. Parallaxe. Cf. Parallel. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| parallax method | Localization of a foreign body by observing the direction of its motion on a fluoroscopic screen while moving the X-ray tube or the screen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parallax test | Measurement of the deviation in strabismus by the alternate cover test combined with neutralization of the deviation using prisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heteronymous parallax | The apparent movement of an object toward the closed eye; noted in exophoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homonymous parallax | The apparent movement of an object toward the open eye when one is closed; noted in oesophoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stereoscopic parallax | The difference in the angles formed by the lines of sight to two objects situated at different distances from the eyes; a factor in the visual perception of depth. Synonym: stereoscopic parallax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical | 1. Of or pertaining to the vertex; situated at the vertex, or highest point; directly overhead, or in the zenith; perpendicularly above one. "Charity . . . Is the vertical top of all religion." (Jer. Taylor) 2. Perpendicular to the plane of the horizon; upright; plumb; as, a vertical line. <astronomy> Vertical angle, an angle measured on a vertical circle, called an angle of elevation, or altitude, when reckoned from the horizon upward, and of depression when downward below the horizon. <botany> Vertical anthers The plane passing through the point of sight, and perpendicular to the ground plane, and also to the picture. Vertical sash, a sash sliding up and down. Cf. French sash, under 3d Sash. Vertical steam engine, a steam engine having the crank shaft vertically above or below a vertical cylinder. Origin: Cf. F. Vertical. See Vertex. 1. Vertical position; zenith. 2. <mathematics> A vertical line, plane, or circle. Prime vertical, Prime vertical dial. See Prime. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| vertical axis | In dentistry, the line around which the working side condyle rotates in the horizontal plane during mandibular movement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical classification | <zoology> Classification which stresses common descent and tends to unite ancestral and descendant groups of a phyletic line in a single higher taxon, separating them from contemporaneous taxa having reached a similar grade of evolutionary change. Compare: Horizontal classification. (09 Jan 1998) |
| vertical dimension | The length of the face determined by the distance of separation of jaws. Occlusal vertical dimension (ovd or vdo) or contact vertical dimension is the lower face height with the teeth in centric occlusion. Rest vertical dimension (vdr) is the lower face height measured from a chin point to a point just below the nose, with the mandible in rest position. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vertical displacement event | Disruption which occurs because plasma is not adequately stabilised against vertical motions. (09 Oct 1997) |
