Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an overview of optical measuring tools and instruments. The author traces the evolution of instruments, from simple devices such as the altazimuth instrument and theodolite to modern and complex spectrometers, and micrometers. The book discusses telescope and microscope objectives, and considers lens aberrations including spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, curvature of field, and distortion. It also explores other concepts such as chromatic aberration and the importance of understanding the effects of these optical phenomena on images. The author emphasizes that images must be used with caution and that the possible effect of aberrations must be known for successful and accurate measurements. This book offers a thorough analysis of the design and function of optical measuring instruments, making it a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in the history and science of optical measuring instruments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
