Course objectives
The principles and functions of basic optical instruments. The characteristics of eye. Spectacles, magnifiers, telescopes, microscopes, cameras, projection instruments. Telemeters and refractometers. Focometers, monochromators and spectrophotometers. The course gives a general overview of optics and optical devices in response to the need of ophthalmic optics for the perfect vision and eye protection against the harmful effects of unwanted electromagnetic radiation. It also discusses the basic photometric units and the most common types of light sources.
