Macular surgery often requires high image resolution than is provided by the [wide-angle viewing systems]. In such a scenario, a macular lens is preferred to increase the magnification of the posterior pole for more delicate and precise surgical maneuvers, such as internal limiting membrane(ILM) and ERM [epiretinal membrane] dissection. These lenses provide a much smaller field of view, limiting their use to primarily posterior pole surgery. The view provided through these lenses is direct, thus inversion is not necessary. Most are contact lenses and require either a coupling agent or a handheld irrigation system... Lenses come in disposable and nondisposable forms. 1, record 1, English, - macular%20lens

Ophthalmoscopy can be broken up into two types, direct and indirect. Direct ophthalmoscopy provides an upright, unreversed image of around 15 times magnification, while indirect ophthalmoscopy produces a reversed, inverted image magnified [two to five] times. Indirect ophthalmoscopy can then be further divided into monocular indirect ophthalmoscopy(MIO) and binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy(BIO). 4, record 2, English, - indirect%20ophthalmoscopy

L'ophtalmoscopie indirecte utilise une source lumineuse dirigée sur l'œil du patient à l'aide d'un miroir mobile; la lumière réfléchie est recueillie par une lentille convergente [...] qui donne une image inversée et virtuelle de la rétine. La taille de l'image varie suivant la puissance de la lentille indirecte; plus la lentille est puissante, plus l'image est petite. Une lentille de +14 dioptries agrandit environ de 2,5 fois la rétine. L'ophtalmoscopie indirecte a l'avantage de permettre un éclairement intense, l'observation d'un large champ en stéréoscopie, et de faire une évaluation dynamique de la pathologie vitréo-rétinienne. Elle a pour inconvénients de donner une image inversée et de nécessiter une grande dextérité dans le maniement de l'instrument. 3, record 2, French, - ophtalmoscopie%20indirecte

Indirect ophthalmoscope. It has a separate power supply, a separate illumination, separate focussing and magnifying system [than the direct ophthalmoscope. ] The illumination system is worn on the forehead of the examiner. The magnifier also known as condenser is held in the right hand of the examiner.... The indirect ophthalmoscope gives a real, inverted and magnified image of the fundus. The image is formed in front of the eye of the patient. The magnification depends upon the power of the magnifier. The stronger is the magnifier(condenser), the less is the magnification. 5, record 3, English, - indirect%20ophthalmoscope

The Hénon attractor grows on the computer screen from a single point into a graceful boomerang shape. The image is produced by iterating a pair of simple functions, one of them having a nonlinear term, applied initially to some point in the plane specified by particular x-and y-coordinates. With each iteration, the attractor as a whole is stretched and folded, in much the same way that a baker kneads bread dough. Points that are initially close together get stretched apart, but are eventually folded back close together. All that's missing is the yeast. There is much that is strange about the Hémon attractor. For one thing, it appears to be the same regardless of the iteration's starting point. It also seems to retain complex detail at all levels : magnify any "line" and it is seen to separate into several parallel lines, each of which also separates under further magnification. 2, record 13, English, - H%C3%A9non%20attractor

[...] au moins quatre ou cinq masques sont nécessaires pour réaliser un circuit intégré ... Il est donc difficilement concevable de réaliser directement, avec cet appareil, un masque d'un diamètre classique de deux pouces avec la précision maximale. Mieux vaut ne réaliser qu'un motif élémentaire qui ne fait en général que quelques millimètres carrés, puis faire un masque complet sur lequel les motifs élémentaires sont juxtaposés par photo à l'aide d'un photorépéteur. 4, record 14, French, - photor%C3%A9p%C3%A9teur
