Instead, wrapped in what seemed to be a linen shroud _ like a piece of candy twisted at both ends _ I was swirling in a cone of light full of beautiful colors.

The exit pupil width of say, a binocular, can be calculated as the objective diameter divided by the magnification, and gives the width of the exit cone of light in the same dimensions as the objective.

The flash of Cherenkov light spawned by the recoiling electron propagates through water in the form of a cone, and the higher the energy of the incoming neutrino, the tighter is the resulting cone of light.
24.
If the cone of light streaming out of the eyepiece is " larger " than the pupil it is going into, any light larger than the pupil is wasted in terms of providing information to the eye.
25.
It is the cone of light beamed from the projector to make the circle, the beam picked out in the dark by the smoke, the way cigarette smoke used to pick out the light beams in movie houses.
26.
Because they focus at close subjects, the cone of light from a subject point to the entrance pupil is relatively obtuse ( a relatively high subject numerical aperture to use microscopy terms ), making the depth of field extraordinarily small.
27.
One by one, they thrust their flashlights into the darkness of a cluttered self-storage room, angling cones of light onto a mobile IV pole near the front, a pair of mattresses propped against the right wall, an electric fan way in the back.
28.
In general, a flat-surface uncoated LED semiconductor chip will emit light only perpendicular to the semiconductor's surface, and a few degrees to the side, in a cone shape referred to as the " light cone ", " cone of light ", or the " escape cone ".

Despite some delicious noir quotes _ the cone of light in a shadowy police interrogation room invoking " Phantom Lady, " a medical examiner named Diedrickson in homage to " Double Indemnity " _ " The Man Who Wasn't There " lacks the requisite sense of dread.

Yet " The Phantom Lady " brings the genre as close to hope as it comes, most notably in an image right out of Beethoven's " Fidelio, " with the strong woman rescuer silhouetted in a cone of light from above as she talks with her imprisoned darling.
