Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Optical Instruments
The strides made in the construction of optical instru ments has led me to compile the following chapters relating to the subject, which will, no doubt, prove iriter esting to many. I shall endeavour to explain the use of the different instruments for their especial purposes, and also their construction, and the object of each part; but, before starting, it would be as well to examine Nature's optical instrument, and having seen the construction of that, we shall then see how many of the optical instru ments are approximately the same in their construction.
