Wundt's perimeter

(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 caption Copyright 1998, Edward J. Haupt)
