If an attempt be made to reproduce the experiments described by Wheatstone in his original paper, in which his great discovery of stereoscopy was published, it will be found that the results are somewhat different in important respects from those described. From experiments recently carried out by the author, it appears that stereoscopic vision is possible only within certain limits. For certain pairs of objects, whether on the same or different horizons, there are generally two extreme critical points beyond which stereoscopic vision breaks down. For certain pairs of objects on the same horizon there are two inner critical points. Objects of dissimilar form but approximately the same average angular dimensions can frequently be combined stereoscopically: thus a circle can be combined with a triangle if their average angular dimensions are about equal. When the angular dimensions are very different, combination is generally impossible: thus, for example, a thin line cannot be combined with a thick line or triangle or other form of considerably larger size. When the pairs of objects are dissimilar in size there is only one pair of outer and inner critical points if the objects are on the same horizon and one outer critical point if they are on different horizons. For pairs of objects any of which can be combined together, there are two pairs of such critical points. Data regarding the positions of the critical points under various conditions are contained in the paper, which also deals generally with the effects of variation of the conditions of observation and particularly variations of the illumination.","PeriodicalId":405858,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Optical Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1923-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130736438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that the viscous nature of pitch entails a number of rather intricate consequences in workshop practice, and that these phenomena require the viscosity to lie between certain well-defined limits. It must be sufficiently high to prevent measurable displacement under the external forces applied in polishing and sufficiently low to relieve rapidly the severer internal strains produced by thermal expansion and contraction. It is also shown that there is considerable difficulty in conserving the necessary properties of pitch even at relatively low temperatures, and means for meeting these difficulties are indicated. The paper is divided into four sections: Section I outlines previous knowledge of the subject; Section II deals with the physical properties of pitch and the alterations produced by low-temperature heating, in so far as these affect its workshop utility. Section III describes a number of workshop phenomena and correlates them with the physical properties described in Section II. In Section IV a brief account is given of some new methods for the mechanical handling of pitch, based on the foregoing studies.","PeriodicalId":405858,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Optical Society","volume":"94 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1923-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122699054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optical designing as an art 光学设计是一门艺术

While such exact ray tracings may give valuable data concerning the optical performance of a lens system, if carried out thoroughly enough, yet the results so obtained do not and cannot give any indication of the direction in which changes are required, and only an appeal to the general algebraic formulae, such as those, for instance, founded upon Coddington's work, can afford the designer the enlightenment necessary to enable him to bring the system to the best possible perfection. Therefore, I have fully come to the conclusion that ray tracing methods are, generally speaking, unnecessary and superfluous for any designer who cares to master the general implications of the much more philosophical and illuminating system of optics founded on Coddington and other workers of the British school. This conclusion I seek to illustrate and justify by a few illustrative examples from my own experience.","PeriodicalId":405858,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Optical Society","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1923-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122162993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
