The author begins by discussing the function of binoculars and the properties of human visual perception. Theoretical models for the synthesis of binoculars and the complex interplay of the different components of binoculars are described. Subsequently, the performance limits, as experienced by the observer in a variety of external conditions, are derived. In the concluding section, the book takes the reader outdoors, where they learn to evaluate the properties and limitations of their binoculars in the field, and to recognize possible problems that may be due to manufacturing errors or accidental damages. Thus, a level of knowledge is provided that will enable the reader to fully exploit the capacities of their binoculars. This book is written for those who work professionally with binoculars and are technically interested, but it is equally useful for professional staff working in the optical industry and the distribution of optical instruments. It includes recent discoveries and is easily accessible to anyone who is seriously interested in learning about binocular function. High school level math is useful to understand the derivations, but not needed to comprehend the results, which are discussed and displayed graphically. 606 $aGeometrical optics 606 $aWave theory of light 606 $aAstronomy$xObservations 606 $aOptics 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aClassical Optics, Geometric and Wave optics 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aApplied Optics 606 $aOptical Materials 615 0$aGeometrical optics. 615 0$aWave theory of light. 615 0$aAstronomy$xObservations. 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 14$aClassical Optics, Geometric and Wave optics. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aApplied Optics. 615 24$aOptical Materials. 676 $a535.32 676 $a535.13 700 $aMerlitz$b Holger$01437902 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760278203321 996 $aThe Binocular Handbook$93598728 997 $aUNINA
