Anomaloscope - Anomaroscope (English spelling)

Japanese: アノマロスコープ - あのまろすこーぷ(英語表記)anomaloscope
Anomaloscope - Anomaroscope (English spelling)

A testing device that classifies types of color vision deficiencies and determines their severity. The Nagel method, which applies spectral mixing, is well known. When the subject looks through the peephole, they see a circular field of vision divided into upper and lower halves, with the upper half seeing a mixture of monochromatic red and green light from the spectrum, and the lower half seeing monochromatic yellow light, with only the brightness varying. The upper and lower colored lights are adjusted by turning the screws on both ends to make the color tones equal. This equal state is called Rayleigh equality. The yellow has a constant wavelength and only the brightness varies, while the mixture ratio of red and green varies. When the upper and lower colors are equal, the amount of red and green determines whether the color is normal or abnormal, and if it is abnormal, the type and degree of abnormality are also determined.

色覚異常の種類を分類し、その程度を判定する検査器械。スペクトルの混色を応用したナーゲルNagel式が有名。被験者がのぞき穴から見ると、上下に二分された円形視野があり、上半分にはスペクトル中の赤と緑の単色光が混合した色が見え、下半分には黄色の単色光が見え明るさのみが変化するようになっている。この上下の色光を、両端のねじを回しながら調節して、色調が等しくなるようにする。この均等状態をレーレーRayleigh均等(レイリー均等)とよぶ。黄色は波長が一定しており、明度だけが変化し、赤と緑はその混合の比率が変化するようになっており、上下の色が均等したときの赤と緑の分量から正常か異常かを決め、異常の場合は種類や程度も決められる。
