Figure 2
Micrograph from the center part of a clessidra lens of the type in Fig. 1 with parameters identical to those studied in this report. Prism height and width are h = 25.67 µm and b = 73.3 µm, respectively. The white rectangle indicates a position where the rounding was modeled according to the details in the inset. Inset: schematic drawing of the spherical meniscus with radius of curvature R formed at the intersection between tips and bases of prisms belonging to different rows. φ is the angle between the lateral sides and bases of prisms belonging to different rows. |
