Summary.Composed by a specialist in the field, Professor Jian Liu and with the members of his team contributing to the work, Elliptical Mirrors discusses the importance of the elliptical mirror, the third solution in far field optical imaging after parabolic reflectors and lenses for which apodization factors were established in 1921 and 1959 respectively. Elliptical Mirrors are a new and novel technique within the world of optics and can be applied to industrial imaging, bio-imaging, x-ray photography and much more. Elliptical mirrors are inevitably going to retain a significant role in trend of microscopic development. This detailed and highly insightful book will be an important insight into a growing subject area that will benefit PhD students, optical physicists, metrologists and researchers who have an interest in the ever-growing science of optics. The book discusses the original concept of elliptical mirrors and gives a fundamental and comprehensive theory behind them and their functions.Upper level optical engineers, physicists, students, researchers, professionals. Physicists in optics and optical system designers.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Jian Liu is Professor and vice dean at the Harbin Institute of Technology, China and is an Honorary Professor at the University of Nottingham, UK. His academic interests lie in the theories and implementations of optical microscopes, and he has a particular interest in the development of optical microscopes, applied optics and optical metrology. This book has been written using the expert knowledge and methods developed by Professor Liu, with contributions from a number of scientists and optical specialists with a vested interest in this developing subject within optical science.Title from PDF title page (viewed on November 8, 2018).
