anomaloscope
anomaloscope[ə′näm·ə·lə‚skōp] (optics) An optical instrument for testing color vision, in which a yellow light whose intensity may be varied is matched against red and green lights whose intensity is fixed. anomaloscope
anomaloscope [ah-nom´ah-lo-skōp″] an apparatus used to detect anomalies of color vision.a·nom·a·lo·scope (ă-nom'ă-lō-skōp), An instrument used to diagnose abnormalities of color perception in which one half of a field of color is matched by mixing two other colors. [G. anōmalos, irregular, + skopeō, to examine] anomaloscope (ă-nom′ă-lŏ-skōp″) [ anomaly + -scope] A device used to assess color perception (color blindness). The patient is asked to adjust red and green lights to match another color, e.g., a yellow light. anomaloscope An instrument for testing colour vision in which the observer is required to match one-half of a circular field which is illuminated with yellow with a mixture of green and red in the other half. The yellow half can be varied in brightness, while the other may be varied continuously from red to green. A certain combination of the red and green mixture is considered normal, and variations from that mixture indicate anomalous colour vision. With this instrument one can distinguish between a protanope and a protanomal and between a deuteranope and a deuteranomal. Syn. Nagel anomaloscope. Some anomaloscopes also test for blue-yellow colour vision deficiencies, e.g. Pickford-Nicholson anomaloscope. See defective colour vision; Rayleigh equation. |
