Refractometers, the New Standard in Studies on Refraction
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1968 I prepared and started my thesis study on “Prematurity and the Eye” [1]. A Danish cohort of prematures born between 1959 and 1961 were examined around the age of 10 years and compared with full-term controls. The aim of the study was to assess the ophthalmic cost of prematurity. The preliminary focus was inter alia on refraction and refractive parameters, and my advisors emphasized no less than “best contemporary methods”. This was discussed in detail in the thesis (1), as also in a later Danish thesis on myopia progression in school children [2].

Design and Simulation of a New Highly Sensitive Gas Sensor Based on Negative Refraction Photonic Crystal
In this paper, design and simulation of a new highly sensitive gas sensor based on a hybrid photonic crystal (PC) structure, containing negative and positive refractive index sections, is presented. It has been shown that using a PC with negative refraction in the first section, the transmitted power is concentrated on the entrance of the sensing channel, and the transmission of the proposed se...

متن کاملEvaluation of Digital and Optical Refractometers for Assessing Failure of Transfer of Passive Immunity in Dairy Calves
BACKGROUND Failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) is the underlying predisposing risk factor for most early losses in dairy calves. Refractometers, either optical or digital, can be used to assess FTPI as a part of calf health monitoring program on dairy operations. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of and differences between digital Brix and optical refractometers for assessing ...
متن کاملRefraction at the Interface of a Lossy Metamaterial
The refraction phenomenon at the interface of an ordinary material and a lossy metamaterial has been investigated. For oblique incidence on the lossy metamaterial, the planes of constant amplitude of the refracted wave are parallel to the interface and the plane of constant phases make a real angle with the interface (real refraction angle). The real refraction angle and hence, the real refract...
