More About This Textbook
Overview
Thoroughly updated and revised, this definitive textbook continues to be the best available resource on the theory of optics and applications in optometry, ophthalmology, and vision science. It presents a complete overview of basic topics in optics and provides a strong foundation for further learning.
• Comprehensive information on optics makes this book the definitive source on the subject.
• A bright, two-color design enhances the text and aids the reader's understanding.
• Completely updated and revised to present the latest information in the field.
• All illustrations are now highlighted with a second color to aid understanding.
• A new color plate section provides clear, excellent-quality photographs to vividly illustrate important concepts.
• More information is included on aspheric lenses, with a new chapter on aspheric lenses.
• Many new questions and exercises reinforce important points and help readers understand the material.
• The contents have been entirely reorganized for a more logical, easy-to-follow approach.
• A new glossary defines all key terms from the chapters for convenient reference.
"...a definitive textbook covering the principles of optics featuring a new chapter on aspheric lenses, new questions, and new exercises to aid in understanding...all illustrations are now two color."
Editorial Reviews
Booknews
A basic text in optical science related to visible light, for those seeking the optical knowledge required in optometry, ophthalmology, and the visual sciences, as well as scientists and engineers who have become newly involved in optical systems. Though the basic science of optics remains the same, technology has advanced considerably since the publication of the ninth edition in 1981. The present edition is extensively revised to take into account such recent technological developments as the greater use of lasers and fiberoptics, and the development of diffractive optical elements. The mathematical demands are minimal. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Product Details
