Tacheometer
Tacheometer is transit theodolite fitted with stadia diaphragm, and
analltic lens
Anallatic lens: Additional convex lens is provided between the eye piece
and the object glass at a fixed distance from the object glass. The
purpose of providing anallatic lens is to make additive constant (f+d)
exactly zero.
Advantage
it simplifies the calculation by making the additive constant 0.
Therefore, there is only one constant which is multiplying constant.
Distances are directly calculated by multiplying the difference of stadia
hair readings by 100.
Disadvantage
Brightness of the image is much reduced due to absorption of light.
Principle of tacheometry
The principle of techeometry is based on property of
isoscales triangles, where the ratio of distance of the
base from apex and length of the base is always
constant.
D1/S1=D2/S2=D3/S3=f/I
F= focal length of object and
i= stadia intercept
(multiplying constant)
