About this title

Synopsis

Precision measurement meets image optics in a curated collection of reprints and notes.

This volume gathers 62 papers and abstracts focused on the precision measurement of optical quantities and the calibration of related instruments. It covers image optics from photography to interferometry, offering practical methods and historical context for standards labs and researchers alike.

Structured in four sections, the book presents refractometry, optical homogeneity, interferometry in image optics, optical design and image evaluation, and photographic science. It includes forewords to frame the scope and usefulness, plus an index and conversion tables to aid quick reference. Several items are highlighted as rare or newly reprinted after years in print, underscoring their ongoing value in standards work and experimental practice.

Content drawn from NBS publications and selected abstracts, organized to help readers browse by subtopic.
Practical methods for refractive index measurement, interferometry, and image evaluation, with real-world applications in photography and metrology.
Historical notes on the development of image- and photography-related techniques used in spectroscopy, astronomy, and photogrammetry.
Helpful features such as subject and author indexes, a list of SI units, and cross-referenced keywords for deeper study.

Ideal for readers who work with optical measurement, camera calibration, and image evaluation in research, manufacturing, or field work.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
