Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book provides an elementary theory for symmetrical optical instruments, exploring the optical properties of a refracting surface and an instrument consisting of several surfaces. The author establishes key optical concepts, such as the power of a surface, the reduced distance, and the divergence produced by a surface. The text examines the relationship between the constants of the instrument and its structure, demonstrating how to calculate these constants using the power and reduced distance of the last refracting surface. It explores the dependence of optical properties on the instrument's constitution and uses this understanding to derive fundamental equations and magnication formulae. The book concludes by discussing the importance of nodal points and the concept of apparent distance. This book is valuable for its clear explanation of the fundamental principles of symmetrical optical instruments, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of optics. 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.…
