Dynameter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with dynamometer.

A dynameter is an instrument that measures the magnification of a telescope. It is usually a double-image micrometer used to measure the diameter of the image of the object glass. The magnifying power is found by comparing the actual diameter of the image on the glass with the measured image diameter.
