| Risley's rotary prism | A prism with a circular base that is rotated in a metal frame marked with a scale; used in examination of ocular muscle imbalance. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Risley, Samuel | <person> U.S. Ophthalmologist, 1845-1920. See: Risley's rotary prism. (05 Mar 2000) |

| rotary joint | A synovial joint in which a section of a cylinder of one bone fits into a corresponding cavity on the other, as in the proximal radioulnar joint. Synonym: articulatio trochoidea, helicoid ginglymus, lateral ginglymus, rotary joint, rotatory joint, trochoid articulation, trochoid joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rotary subluxation of scaphoid | <radiology> Scaphoid ring sign, Terry Thomas sign (scapho-lunate dissociation) (12 Dec 1998) |
| refracting angle of a prism | The angle between two plane surfaces of a prism. Synonym: refracting angle of a prism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prism | <microscopy> A transparent body with at least two polished plane faces inclined with respect to each other, from which light is reflected or through which light is refracted. When light is refracted by a prism whose refractive index exceeds that of the surrounding medium, it is deviated or bent toward the thicker part of the prism. (05 Aug 1998) |
| prism bar | A graduated series of prism bar's mounted on a frame and used in ocular diagnosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prism cover test | Measurement of the deviation in strabismus by the alternate cover test combined with neutralization for the deviation using prisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prism diopter | The unit of measurement of the deviation of light in passing through a prism, being a deflection of 1 cm at a distance of 1 m. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prism illuminator | <microscopy> A 45 to ~0-degree prism interposed in the tube of a light microscope for the purpose of directing an intense beam of light through the objective onto the object. The prism illuminator utilises about one half the aperture of the objective as does the mirror illuminator with an attending loss of resolution over that obtainable with either a plane glass illuminator or a pellicle mirror. See: metallography, Nicol prism. (05 Aug 1998) |
| prism vergence test | Measurement of the amplitude of fusion by placing prisms of gradually increasing power in the direction tested until diplopia occurs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Nicol prism | <physics> A prism, used for polarizing or analysing light, made by cementing together, with Canada balsam, two pieces of calcite in such a way that the extraordinary ray from the first piece passes through the second piece while the ordinary ray is reflected to the side into an absorbing layer of black paint. When two Nicol prisms are crossed, therefore, no light passes through. A polarizing prism made of two pieces of calcite specially cut, ground, polished and cemented. A transmitted beam splits into two polarized components, one of which is refracted into and absorbed by the asphalt mount. The remaining polarized beam is transmitted. Modifications of this prism are common. The Nicol prism (nicol) has generally been superseded by a polarizing film such as Polaroid. See: polars, polarizer, analyser. (05 Aug 1998) |
| tidal prism | The change in the volume of water covering an area, such as a wetland, between a low tide and the subsequent high tide. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Fresnel prism | A prism composed of concentric annular rings. (05 Mar 2000) |
