- FLAT PERISCOPE -

If you lay a special tape on the floor, for example 30 cm wide. And a length of 60 cm , then by standing on one side of the tape you will see your feet "from below" on the other side of the tape. Or if you put a book or magazine down in text on one side, then on the other side of the tape you will see the text and be able to read it. Such an adaptation will be necessary for military purposes. A long ribbon is fastened along the wall of the building (fortification) and in a protected place where the other end is held, one can see what is done in the open area and promptly navigate in combat conditions. If you apply a similar device as an additive to the scalpel, the surgeon, working with such a tool, will be able to see inside which tissues the scalpel is located. In a word, the right thing. It is made of light guides of correct assembly with bends at the ends at 90 degrees with the composition in the plane, that is, a tape superimposcope. Moreover, such a periscope can be either one-sided or two-sided. If you drive the car to such a tape, then at its other end you can see possible faults of the bottom or transmission. On the side where the machine is placed over the tape, you can arrange a flat lens to see the picture enlarged.
