In the world of topography, the theodolite stands out as an essential instrument for accurately measuring horizontal and vertical angles. This ingenious device can also be used to calculate distances and slopes, making it a versatile and valuable tool in a variety of applications.
The design of the theodolite combines functionality and precision. In its structure, it has a telescope or telescope that allows observing the reference points. It is mounted on a stable tripod, which supports two graduated circles: one horizontal and one vertical. Thanks to these circles, the operator can measure the necessary angles to perform detailed calculations and analysis of the terrain. Thus, the theodolite not only facilitates surveying work, but also represents a bridge between science and practice in the study of geography and construction.
