of an object are formed in the field, usually by the two
halves of a bisected lens which are movable along their

points to be measured into optical coincidence. When the
two images are formed by a bisected object glass, it is
called a divided-object-glass micrometer, and when the
instrument is large and equatorially mounted, it is known
as a heliometer.

micrometer, in which the two images are formed by the
