| distance perception | The act of knowing or the recognition of a distance by recollective thought, or by means of a sensory process which is under the influence of set and of prior experience. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| infinite distance | The limit of distant vision, the rays entering the eyes from an object at that point being practically parallel. Synonym: infinity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interarch distance | The vertical distance between the maxillary and mandibular arches under conditions of vertical dimensions which must be specified, the vertical distance between maxillary and mandibular ridges. Synonym: interalveolar space, interridge distance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interocclusal distance | The vertical distance between the opposing occlusal surfaces, assuming rest relation unless otherwise designated. Synonym: interocclusal rest space. Synonym: freeway space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interpupillary distance | <microscopy, ophthalmology> The distance between the centres of the pupils of the eye. The binocular microscope tube must be adjustable for this distance. (05 Aug 1998) |
| interridge distance | The vertical distance between the maxillary and mandibular arches under conditions of vertical dimensions which must be specified, the vertical distance between maxillary and mandibular ridges. Synonym: interalveolar space, interridge distance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| evolutionary distance | <botany> In phylogenetic trees, the sum of the physical distance on a tree separating organisms, this distance is inversely proportional to evolutionary relatedness. (09 Oct 1997) |
| focal distance | The distance from the centre of a lens to its focus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large interarch distance | A large distance between the maxillary and mandibular arches; may also imply an excessive vertical dimension. Synonym: open bite. (05 Mar 2000) |
