| geometrical | Pertaining to, or according to the rules or principles of, geometry; determined by geometry; as, a geometrical solution of a problem. Geometric is often used, as opposed to algebraic, to include processes or solutions in which the propositions or principles of geometry are made use of rather than those of algebra. Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly technical sense, as opposed to mechanical; thus, a construction or solution is geometrical which can be made by ruler and compasses, i. E, by means of right lines and circles. Every construction or solution which requires any other curve, or such motion of a line or circle as would generate any other curve, is not geometrical, but mechanical. By another distinction, a geometrical solution is one obtained by the rules of geometry, or processes of analysis, and hence is exact; while a mechanical solution is one obtained by trial, by actual measurements, with instruments, etc, and is only approximate and empirical. Geometrical curve. Same as Algebraic curve; so called because their different points may be constructed by the operations of elementary geometry. Geometric lathe, an instrument for engraving bank notes, etc, with complicated patterns of interlacing lines; called also cycloidal engine. Geometrical pace, a measure of five feet. Geometric pen, an instrument for drawing geometric curves, in which the movements of a pen or pencil attached to a revolving arm of ajustable length may be indefinitely varied by changing the toothed wheels which give motion to the arm. <geometry> Geometrical plane, one of many species of spiders, which spin a geometrical web. They mostly belong to Epeira and allied genera, as the garden spider. See Garden spider. Geometric square, a portable instrument in the form of a square frame for ascertaining distances and heights by measuring angles. Geometrical staircase, one in which the stairs are supported by the wall at one end only. Geometrical tracery, in architecture and decoration, tracery arranged in geometrical figures. Origin: L. Geometricus; Gr., cf. F. Geometrique. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| geometrical sense | One or other of two directions along a curve in which something is moving e.g., clockwise or counterclockwise. (05 Mar 2000) |
| barrel distortion | <microscopy> A distortion, or aberration. (05 Aug 1998) |
| perceptual distortion | Lack of correspondence between the way a stimulus is commonly perceived and the way an individual perceives it under given conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pincushion distortion | <microscopy> A geometrical distortion in a video picture, or a form of optical aberration, that makes the middle of all sides of a square appear to bow inward. The distortion can amount to several percent of the picture height in some intensified camera tubes. See: Aberration, Distortion, Barrel distortion. (05 Aug 1998) |
| specimen distortion | <microscopy> A physical change in the specimen caused by desiccation or heating by the electron beam. (05 Aug 1998) |
| distortion | The state of being twisted out of a natural or normal shape or position. Origin: L. Dis = apart, torsio = a twisting (18 Nov 1997) |
| distortion aberration | The faulty formation of an image arising because the magnification of the peripheral part of an object is different from that of the central part when viewed through a lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
