heliometers's Usage Examples:

The four long-neglected small heliometers made by Fraunhofer were brought into requisition.

Struve's second suggestion has been adopted in nearly all succeeding heliometers.

An arrangement, afterwards described, has been fitted in modern heliometers for placing the screen in front of either segment by a handle at the eye-end.

Modern heliometers made with cylindrical slides measure angles over 2°, the images remaining as sharp and perfect as when the smallest angles are measured.

4) that Bessel had indicated, by notes in his handbooks, the following points which should be kept in mind in the construction of future heliometers: (I) The segments should move in cylindrical slides; b (2) the screw should be protected from dust; 6 (3) the zero of the position circle should not be so liable to change; 7 (4) the distance of the optical centres of the segments should not change in different position angles or otherwise; 8 (5) the points of the micrometer screws should rest on ivory plates; 9 (6) there should be an apparatus for changing the screen.'° Wilhelm Struve, in describing the Pulkowa heliometer,' 1 made The distances of the optical centres of the segments from the eye-piece are in this method as I; secant of the angle under measurement.

2 The diameter of Venus was measured with one of these heliometers at the observatory of Breslau by Brandes in 1820 (Berlin Jahrbuch, 1824, p. 064).

To Dollond in 1754 we owe the combination of Savary's idea of the divided object-glass with Bouguer's method of measurement, and the construction of the first really practical heliometers.

The fact remains that before 1820 2 Fraunhofer had completed one or more of the five heliometers (3 in.

The instruments used were heliometers, the construction and use of which had been greatly improved, largely through the efforts of Gill himself.

Nor did the measures made by the Germans with heliometers come out any better.

heliometers's Meaning':

an instrument used to measure the angular separation of two stars that are too far apart to be included in the field of view of an ordinary telescope
