Introduction To Optical Microscopy

The book introduces university undergraduates to the fascinating world of the science of light. Contemporary physics programmes are under increasing pressure to provide a balance between coverage of several traditional branches of physics and to expose students to emerging research areas. It is therefore important to provide an in depth

This award-winning book has been translated from the original French by the author and thoroughly updated. It gives an introduction to modern optics at an advanced level, taking a unique approach inspired by Richard Feynman.

Presents a fully updated, self-contained textbook covering the core theory and practice of both classical and modern optical microscopy techniques.

A broad overview of theoretical physics and optics and engineering applications, first published in 1996.

Books about Introduction to Optics

A complete basic undergraduate course in modern optics for students in physics, technology, and engineering. The first half deals with classical physical optics; the second, quantum nature of light. Solutions.

A comprehensive, applications oriented introduction to geometrical optics, wave optics and modern optics which does not require students to have previously studied electricity and magnetism. The book covers all the traditional elements of an optics course together with the modern topics that have revolutionised the field - holography, fibre optics,

Books about Introduction to Optics

A detailed introduction to modern optical engineering.

Clear, accessible guide requires little prior knowledge and considers just two topics: paraxial imaging and polarization. Lucid discussions of paraxial imaging properties of a centered optical system, optical resonators and laser beam propagation, matrices in polarization optics and propagation of light through crystals, much more. 60 illustrations. Appendixes. Bibliography.
