Line of Collimation:
Line joining the intersection of the cross-hairs to the optical center of the objective and its continuation. It is also know as Line of sight. Line of sight : is defined as the intersection of the cross hairs and the optical centre of the objective lens.
Level Surface:
A small exploration of the connection between the gradient vector and level surfaces. For a function f, the gradient vector grad f has the properties that. it points in the direction in which f increases the fastest, and. it is perpendicular to level curves or surfaces of f.

R.L. (Reduced Level) : The R.L. of any point represents its elevation (above or below0 with respect to mean sea level as datum.
Axis of telescope : line joining the optical center of the objective to the center of the eyepiece.
Axis of level tube : an imaginary line tangential to the longitudinal curve of the tube at its mid-point.
Back sight : Staff reading taken on a point of known elevation.
Bench Mark : A fixed point of known elevation above the datum .
Datum : The level surface (real or imaginary) used for reference is called a datum.
Elevation : of a point/ station, on or near the surface of the earth, is its vertical distance above or below a datum .
Height of instrument : Elevation of the line of sight of the telescope.
Horizontal plane : a plane always perpendicular to one considered plumb line. It is tangent to a level surface.
Horizontal line : is a line always perpendicular to one considered plumb line. It is tangent to a level line. It lies in Horizontal plane.
Horizontal distance : In plane surveying, distance measured along a level line termed as horizontal distance.
Intermediate sight : Staff reading on a point, other than back sight and fore sight, of whose elevation is to be determined.
Level surface : A level surface is an equipotential surface of the earth's gravity field. It is a curved surface and every element of which is perpendicular to plumb line. A body of still water provides the best example of a level surface.
Level line : is a curved line normal to plumb lines at all points. Thus, it lies in a level surface.
Line of collimation : Line joining the intersection of the cross-hairs to the optical center of the objective and its continuation. It is also know as Line of sight.
Line of sight : is defined as the intersection of the cross hairs and the optical centre of the objective lens.
Mean Sea level : Mean sea level (MSL) at a location is obtained by averaging the height of the surface of the sea for all stages of the tides for a period of 18.6 years. It is used as a vertical datum level surface. For India , MSL of Mumbai port is considered as reference surface for finding vertical height.
Plumb line : is the direction of the lines of force of earth's gravity field. In plane surveying, it is defined by the direction of a freely suspended plumb-bob.
Relative elevation : Difference in elevation between two points is the vertical distance between the level lines passing through the points.
Turning point : is an intermittent/ intervening point between set up of stations at which both fore sight and back sight readings are taken.
Vertical plane : is a plane along a plumb line. It is tangent to a Horizontal plane
Vertical line : is a line along a plumb line. It is tangent to a Horizontal line . It lies in Vertical plane.
Vertical distance : is the distance measured along a plumb line .
Vertical angle : is an angle between two intersecting straight lines in a vertical plane .
