Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Theory of Optical Instruments
Tuden TS Of Astronomy, Photography, and Spectroscopy, have frequently expressed the desire for a simple theoretical account Of those defects Of performance Of Optical instruments to which the names coma, curvature of field, astigmatism, distortion, secondary spectrum, want of resolving power, etc., are given it is hoped that the need will to some extent be met by this little work, in which the endeavour is made to lead up directly from the first elements Of Optics to those parts Of the subject which are Of greatest importance to workers with optical instruments. A short account of the principal instruments has been added.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book by the renowned astronomer E. T. Whittaker is an accessible guide to the theory of optical instruments. Beginning with the fundamentals of geometrical optics, the author leads the reader through the construction and function of lenses, mirrors, and other optical instruments. Key topics include primary and secondary foci, image formation, astigmatism, distortion, chromatic aberration, and resolving power. The author assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics beyond the basics of geometry and trigonometry. The text is clearly written and well-illustrated, making it an ideal resource both for students of astronomy and photography and for practicing instrument makers. Whittaker's thoughtful and rigorous approach provides readers with a thorough understanding of how optical instruments work and how to use them effectively in their own work. The insights gained by working through this book will greatly enhance the reader's ability to select the right instruments for a given task and to get the most out of them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781440040405_0
