(Perimeter nach Wundt)
Description: This device allows the presentation of visual
stimuli in all parts of the visual field and at a constant
distance from the subject's eye. It is used to examine the visual
field for defects and to plot visual acuity and color acuity. It
presumably comes from Wundt's time with Helmholtz. (Expanded
