(20) The reduction was much smaller in humans with impaired binocular vision, at least for the dominant eye.
Microscope
Definition:
(n.) An optical instrument, consisting of a lens, or combination of lenses, for making an enlarged image of an object which is too minute to be viewed by the naked eye.
Example Sentences:
