Wayne Tachistoscope Rotator Scanner

The Wayne Tachistoscope Rotator Scanner enables a Perceptamatic tachistoscope to project a controlled rotating or scanning image for enhancing training activities such as pursuit tracking, anti-suppression, fusion, and dynamic acuity.

The unit consists of two prisms which rotate in front of the tachistoscope lens. Each prism's speed and direction is independently adjustable from 20 to 240 RPM. The two prisms allow the projected image to rotate in a circular pattern, a spiral, or in a vertical or horizontal direction. An optional polarized lens produces a Haidinger brush when the image is viewed through blue-filtered glasses. The rotator assembly is held in place by a magnet and can be easily removed.

The Wayne Tachistoscope Rotator Scanner can be used for the following procedures:

• Rotating fusion circles of increasing disparity
• Accommodation/vergence testing and training
• Monocular and binocular fixation
• Ocular-motor training of pursuits and saccades
• Anti-suppression training
• Peripheral and central fusion
• Dynamic acuity testing
• Tracking used afterimage and/or Haidinger brush
• Generating a Haidinger brush in space
• Peripheral awareness training using peripheral tachistoscopic images
