Beschreibung:
In this Fourth Edition, coauthor Daniel Vukobratovich has brought his broad expertise in materials, opto-mechanical design, analysis of optical instruments, large mirrors, and structures; Jan Nijenhuis has provided a comprehensive new chapter on kinematics and applications of flexures; and several other experts have contributed. A total of 110 worked-out design examples, extended text, new illustrations, new tables of data, and new references have warranted publication of two volumes.
