Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores color vision through the lens of the Trichromatic Theory. The author delves into the history of color perception research, tracing the evolution of our understanding from its early foundations to the present day. The book examines the theory's tenets, using scientific research to support and explain them. The author's own extensive research is used to provide new insights, pushing the boundaries of our comprehension of color vision and challenging some long-held assumptions about the topic. The text is divided into two accessible parts, with the first containing preliminary information and the second investigating more complex ideas such as color blindness and color fatigue. The book is a thorough examination of color vision from a scientific and practical perspective, offering a rich resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the science of color perception. 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.…

VG [++] "Abney was one of the founders of modern photography, combining a scientific approach, ingenuity, and manipulative skill with a talent for popularization. In later life his interest in color photography led him to investigate theories of color vision. Abney's first astronomical publications were reports on an expedition he led to Egypt in December 1874, to photograph a transit of Venus across the face of the sun. In preparation for this expedition Abneyby then a captaininvented a dry photographic emulsion (1874): this, his "albumen beer" process, remained in use for general as well as solar photography until superseded by commercial gelatin products, He went on to study the chemistry of latent image developing (1877) and to introduce hydroquinone (1880), still one of the best developing agents known.Extending his interests to spectroscopy. Abney was the first to suggest (1877) that stars with rapid axial rotation could be detected by broadened lines in their spectraan idea later to have wide application. He then devised a red-sensitive emulsion and with it made the first spectroscopic analyses of the structure of organic molecules (1882) and the first photographs of the solar spectrum in the infrared (1887). This was followed by comparative studies of how sunlight is altered in passing through our atmosphere, made at sea level and in the Swiss Alps(1888, 1894)."--Encyclopedia dot com.…
