        consisting of two plano-convex lenses with their curved
        surfaces turned toward the object glass, and separated
        from each other by about half the sum of their focal
        distances, the image viewed by the eye being formed
        between the two lenses. it was devised by Huyghens, who

        image of the object viewed being beyond both lenses; --
        called also, from the name of the inventor, Ramsden's
        eyepiece.
  
     terrestrial, or Erecting eyepiece, an eyepiece used in
        telescopes for viewing terrestrial objects, consisting of
        three, or usually four, lenses, so arranged as to present
