What is the difference between transiting and swinging ?
The process of rotation of a theodolite in a vertical plane about the horizontal axis is called transiting, and the process of rotation of a theodolite in a horizontal plane about the vertical axis is called swinging. Transiting is also known as reversing or plunging.
What is the difference between theodolite and tacheometer ?
Tacheometer is a type of transit theodolite, but in the surveying operation, while using a theodolite, the horizontal distance is measured using a chain or tape. But in tacheometry, it is calculated using the stadia intercept and the vertical angle.
What is a transit theodolite ?
A theodolite is said to be a transit theodolite when it can be rotated by 180° in a vertical plane about the horizontal axis.
What are the types of theodolite used in surveying operations?
The types of theodolite used are transit, non-transit, vernier, micrometre theodolite etc.
Define anallactic lens.
Anallactic lens is a type of convex lens which is fixed between the eyepiece and the object glass at a fixed distance. It makes additive constant, C=100.
