   -scope.] (Astron.)
   An instrument for determining the time of apparent noon. It
   consists of two mirrors and a plane glass disposed in the
   form of a prism, so that, by the reflections of the sun's

   eye, moving in opposite directions, and coinciding at the
   instant the sun's center is on the meridian.
   [1913 Webster]
