Focusing on fundamental methods and procedures of lens design, this book covers the aberration study, including the transverse and wave forms, discusses three-mirror tilted and decentered systems, and explores modulation transfer function and diffraction-based aberrations in the optimization process[...]
The lens is generally the most expensive and least understood part of any camera. In this book, Rudolf Kingslake traces the historical development of the various types of lenses from Daguerre's invention of photography in 1839 through lenses commonly used today. From an early lens still being manufa[...]
