520 $aThere is a wide variety of optical instruments with which the human eye forms an integral part of the overall system. This book provides a comprehensive description of the construction and image formation in such visual optical instruments, ranging from simple magnifiers, through microscopes and telescopes, to more sophisticated interferometric and diffractive devices. Throughout, details of the eye's interaction with a particular optical instrument, the visual ergonomics of the system, are emphasised.
520 8 $aThe book begins with a section on the general theory of image formation and a description of basic optical components. The various optical instruments that can be adequately described using geometrical optics are then discussed, followed by a section on diffraction and interference and the instruments based on these effects. There are separate sections devoted to ophthalmic instruments and aberration theory, with a final section covering visual ergonomics in depth.
520 8 $aDealing with basic physical principles, as well as engineering and design issues, and containing many problems and solutions, this book will be of great use to undergraduate and graduate students of optometry, optical design, optical engineering, and visual science, and to professionals working in these and related fields.
