Item description from seller

Two Volumes. 841, (16) pages with together193 text figures and 2 illustrations, Illustraterd original softcover binding. Good condition. 21,5x14,5 cm * Alexander Eugen Conrady (January 27, 1866 June 16, 1944) was an optical designer, academician, and textbook author. Work in optical design. Conrady himself records in the preface to his magnum opus, Applied Optics and Optical Design, that his optical work during these years led to "a large number of new types of telescopic, microscopic, and photographic lens systems.followed during the great war by the design of most of the new forms of submarine periscopes and of some other Service instruments." The success of this work led to his appointment in 1917 to the principal teaching post of the newly founded Technical Optics Department at the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London, a position he occupied until 1931. Conrady's teaching proved seminal, since he was able to take the arcane and rather disorganized discipline of optical design and establish it on a systematic, didactic basis, applying many of his newly devised procedures and theoretical insights, e.g., the doctrine of the optical path length (OPL) and optical path difference (OPD), which he had published during the period from 1904 to 1920. Many important optical designers of the 20th centurymost notably his son-in-law, Rudolf Kingslake, as well as his eldest daughter, Hilda Conrady Kingslakereceived his instruction and utilized his methods. Applied Optics: By 1929, Conrady had published twenty-nine scientific papers, most of them relating to optical design.[7] These along with his decade of university teaching and about 35 years of practical experience in optical design and manufacture led to the publication of his most important work, a book laying out the systematic basis for the practical design of all kinds of optical instruments: Applied Optics and Optical Design, (Oxford UP, 1929). The book became a classicwidely used and referred toand although its computational methods have been totally superseded by modern computer "ray-tracing" lens-design programs, its theoretical and mathematical insights remain valid and the book continues in print today. (Quelle Wikipedia) ---- Alexander Eugen Conrady (18661944) war ein bedeutender deutsch-britischer Wissenschaftler und Optik-Experte, der als Pionier auf dem Gebiet des optischen Designs gilt. Wissenschaftliche Karriere & Wirken. Akademische Laufbahn: Er war Professor am Imperial College London, wo er ab 1917 die Abteilung für Technische Optik mitbegründete und leitete. Hauptwerk: Sein zweibändiges Werk Applied Optics and Optical Design gilt bis heute als Standardwerk für das Design optischer Linsen und Teleskopsysteme. Theorie & Praxis: Er entwickelte systematische Methoden zur Berechnung von Linsenfehlern (Aberrationen) und legte die mathematischen Grundlagen für das moderne Optik-Design vor dem Zeitalter der Computer. Persönliches & Vermächtnis: Familie: Seine Tochter Hilda Conrady Kingslake war ebenfalls eine bekannte Optikerin. Sein Schwiegersohn Rudolf Kingslake war ein führender Optik-Designer bei Kodak und Professor an der University of Rochester. Ehrungen: Zu seinem Gedenken vergibt die SPIE (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers) jährlich den A.E. Conrady Award für herausragende Leistungen im Bereich des optischen Designs.
