  2. Euclid's Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid's_Optics

    Similar to Euclid's much more famous work on geometry, Elements, Optics begins with a small number of definitions and postulates, which are then used to prove, by deductive reasoning, a body of geometric propositions about vision. The postulates in Optics are: Let it be assumed That rectilinear rays proceeding from the eye diverge indefinitely;

  3. Emission theory (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_theory_(vision)

    Alternatively, Euclid's can be interpreted as a mathematical model whose only constraint was to save the phenomena, without the need of a strict correspondence between each theoretical entity and a physical counterpart. Measuring the speed of light was one line of evidence that spelled the end of emission theory as anything other than a metaphor.

  4. Catoptrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catoptrics

    The Latin translation of Alhazen's (Ibn al-Haytham) main work, Book of Optics (Kitab al-Manazir), [6] exerted a great influence on Western science: for example, on the work of Roger Bacon, who cites him by name. [7] His research in catoptrics (the study of optical systems using mirrors) centred on spherical and parabolic mirrors and spherical ...

  5. History of optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_optics

    The early writers discussed here treated vision more as a geometrical than as a physical, physiological, or psychological problem. The first known author of a treatise on geometrical optics was the geometer Euclid (c. 325 BC–265 BC). Euclid began his study of optics as he began his study of geometry, with a set of self-evident axioms.

  6. Theon of Alexandria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theon_of_Alexandria

    Commentary on the Data of Euclid. This work is written at a relatively advanced level as Theon tends to shorten Euclid's proofs rather than amplify them. [2] Commentary on the Optics of Euclid. This elementary-level work is believed to consist of lecture notes compiled by a student of Theon. [2] Commentary on the Almagest.

    Edmund Scientific Corporation, based in Barrington, New Jersey, was founded in 1942 as a retailer of surplus optical parts like lenses.It later branched out into complete systems like telescopes and microscopes, and in the 1960s, a wide variety of science toys and kits.

  8. Book of Optics - Wikipedia

    The Book of Optics (Arabic: كتاب المناظر, romanized: Kitāb al-Manāẓir; Latin: De Aspectibus or Perspectiva; Italian: Deli Aspecti) is a seven-volume treatise on optics and other fields of study composed by the medieval Arab scholar Ibn al-Haytham, known in the West as Alhazen or Alhacen (965–c. 1040 AD).

  9. Photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_lens_design

    The design of photographic lenses for use in still or cine cameras is intended to produce a lens that yields the most acceptable rendition of the subject being photographed within a range of constraints that include cost, weight and materials.
