SCOPE —
a Famous Trails device with one ocular system.
SPECTRAL RESPONSE —
the numeric range of wavelengths
in the phototonic spectrum amplifiable by a Famous Trails
device. While the human eye can see from 400nm to 750nm,
a Famous Trails system can pick up and amplify wavelengths
up to 900nm and project an image of the viewed object onto
its phosphor screen.
SPECTRUM —
see phototonic spectrum
WAVELENGTH —
the distance covered by one cycle of a wave.
Electromagnetic energy is transmitted in sinusoidal waves.
Nanometers (nm) and Micrometers (mn) are units of measure
in the photonic spectrum.
