Description for An Introduction to Practical Laboratory Optics
hardcover. This book is aimed at students taking practical laboratory courses in experimental optics to help them understand the components within optical instruments. Num Pages: 196 pages, 80 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PHJ; TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 228 x 152 x 14. Weight in Grams: 440.
Aimed at students taking laboratory courses in experimental optics, this book introduces readers to optical instruments and their uses. The book explains the basic operation of lenses, mirrors, telescopes in the laboratory and under field conditions, how to use optical instruments to their maximum potential and how to keep them in working order. It gives an account of the laws of geometrical optics which govern the design, layout and working of optical instruments. The book describes the interactions of polarised light with matter and the instruments and devices derived from this, and discusses the choice of spectrometers and detectors for ... Read more

Reviews for An Introduction to Practical Laboratory Optics
'James writes so well and includes so many personal and historical lessons learned that I had difficulty putting this book down … It is perfect for a pre-job-interview review of hands-on optics. When you get to the last page you will still be hungry for more, which makes the three appendices even more welcome. [The book] is excellent and the ... Read more
