... eyes. The distance d is simply half that distance. θ is half of the shift angle you estimated, and L is the distance from the center of your two eyes to your finger. Note that if d is measured in centimeters, then L must also be measured in the same units of centimeters. The angle θ must be in radia ...

Reflecting instrument

Reflecting instruments are those that use mirrors to enhance their ability to make measurements. In particular, the use of mirrors permits one to observe two objects simultaneously while measuring the angular distance between the objects. While they are used in many professions, they are primarily associated with celestial navigation, as the need to solve navigation problems, in particular the problem of the longitude, was the primary motivation in their development.
