The Theory of Optical Instruments is a book written by E. T. Whittaker and first published in 1907. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory behind optical instruments, including telescopes, microscopes, and other devices used for scientific observation and measurement. Whittaker's approach is highly mathematical and technical, making use of advanced calculus and other mathematical tools to describe the behavior of light and its interaction with lenses, mirrors, and other optical components. The book is aimed at advanced students and researchers in physics and optics, and is considered a classic in the field. Despite its age, The Theory of Optical Instruments remains an important reference work for anyone interested in the theory and design of optical instruments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Book Description

Originally published in 1907, this book provides a concise account regarding the theory of optical instruments. The text was written with the aim of leading 'directly from the first elements of Optics to those parts of the subject which are of greatest importance to workers with optical instruments'.
