Seite 53 - ... that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for refraction in the same medium, was effected by Snell and Descartes.
Seite 41 - Observations. (203.) 1. The eye should be protected from all extraneous light, and should not receive any of the light which proceeds from the illuminating centre, excepting what is transmitted through or reflected from the object. 2. Delicate observations should not be made when the fluid which lubricates the cornea is in a viscid state. 3. The best position for microscopical observations is when the observer is lying horizontally on his back.

Seite 16 - In order to render comparison accurate between different kinds of objectives, Professor Abbe takes into consideration the rays actually passing from the back combination of the objective to form the real image ; he thus takes into account the medium in front of the objective as well as the angular aperture. The term "numerical aperture...
Seite 15 - By the angular aperture of an objective is meant the "angle contained, in each case, between the most diverging rays issuing from the axial point of an object (ie, a point in the object situated on the optic axis of the microscope), that can enter the objective and take part in the formation of an image
Seite 270 - Nebulous doubling with oblique illumination indicates overcorrection of the marginal zone, want of the edges without marked nebulosity indicates undercorrection of this zone; an alteration of the adjustment for oblique and central illumination, that is, a difference of plane between the image in the peripheral and central portions of the objective points to an absence of concurrent action of the separate zones, which may be due to either an average under- or overcorrection or to irregularity in the...

Seite 231 - The best light is sunlight. That has the defect of not always being available, and of differing greatly in intensity from hour to hour, day to day, and season to season. The sun does not shine in the evening when many workers find the only opportunity for work. Following the sunlight the electric light is the most intense of the available lights.

Seite 55 - ... the milled-head of the fine motion, and move it briskly backwards and forwards in both directions from the first position. Observe the expansion of the dark outline of the object, both when within and when without the focus. If the greater expansion, or coma, is when the object is without the focus, or farthest from the Objective, the lenses must be placed farther asunder, or towards the mark ' uncovered.' If the greater coma is when the object is within the focus, or nearest to the Objective,...
