Optical Illusion Magic: Visual Tricks & Amusements
Illustrated in full colour, these optical illusions are cool and fun for all ages. Entertain yourself or impress your friends for hours. Boggle your mind with afterimages, impossible figures, flip-flopping faces, and more that will confuse your vision. Figure out what the secret message is in letters that are stretched out. Look at two lines and decide which one is longer (or are they both the same length?). “Bend” a rigid pencil. Stare at a pattern of triangles and see how your mind organizes them into all sorts of imaginary patterns, shapes, peaks, and shades.
The New Physical Optics Notebook: Tutorials in Fourier Optics
Approaches the topic of physical optics with examples drawn from the physical processes described. Includes chapters on Fourier transforms, image formation, optical coherence, diffraction, interference, holography, interferometry, analog optical computing, synthetic aperture imaging, and others. Contains more than 600 photographs and line drawings and more than 650 references.
Basic And Clinical Science Course Section 3: Clinical Optics
Presents current applications of optical phenomena, including the optical foundations of lasers, spectacles, IOLs, and refractive surgery, and the design, fitting, and complications of contact lenses. Also covered are optics of the human eye, the design and use of ophthalmic instruments, basic concepts of geometrical optics, and the current approach to low vision management and vision rehabilitation
This book presents a complete summary of the author's twenty five years of experience in telescope design. It provides a general introduction to every aspect of telescope design. It also discusses the theory behind telescope design in depth, which makes it a good reference book for professionals. It covers Radio, Infrared, Optical, X-Ray and Gamma-Ray wavelengths. Originally published in Chinese.
