two eyepieces for viewing pairs of aerial photographs to discern 3D effects in mapmaking, and adding contours - I often found these made me go crosseyed, when studying photogrammetry at uni
- my father got trained for topographic maps and foresty in the univ., taught me too. Most fascinating, though does make U cross-eyed for sure. The fun is worth it!
