Concluding Remarks 330 $aThis book provides a unified treatment of the characteristics of telescopes of all types, both those whose performance is set by geometrical aberrations and the effect of the atmosphere, and those diffraction-limited telescopes designed for observations from above the atmosphere. The emphasis throughout is on basic principles, such as Fermat's principle, and their application to optical systems specifically designed to image distant celestial sources.The book also contains thorough discussions of the principles underlying all spectroscopic instrumentation, with special emphasis on grating 606 $aAstronomical instruments 606 $aOptics 615 0$aAstronomical instruments. 615 0$aOptics. 676 $a522/.2 700 $aSchroeder$b D.
