Axometer
Definition
An apparatus, measuring instrument, or precision optical device utilized to determine the exact localization, geometric orientation, and alignment of the optical or geometric axes of lenses (especially cylindrical or toric lenses designed for astigmatism correction). This structural calibration apparatus is widely used in medical optics workshops and engineering laboratories to guarantee a delicate mounting and perfect centering of transparent components.
