Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This new edition of the Handbook of Visual Optics, Volume One, provides an authoritative and up-to-date overview of physiological optics. It spans the field from the physical foundations of light propagation in the eye to the biological and perceptual mechanisms underlying human vision. Building on the success of the first edition, this volume has been updated and expanded to reflect major advances in understanding the optical properties of the eye, visual performance, and fundamental measurement methods.
Integrating perspectives from physics, biology, medicine, psychology, and engineering, the chapters cover the geometry and wave optics of the eye, its anatomy and function, the behavior of optical aberrations and scattering, and the neural processes that shape perception. This first volume establishes the essential basis for the companion Volume Two, which addresses ophthalmic instrumentation and applications.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of visual optics, from geometrical and wave optics to the anatomy, physiology, and visual psychophysics of the human eye.
- Extensive updates reflecting the past decade of progress, including new chapters on chromatic aberration, peripheral optics, and recent advances in adaptive optics and visual modeling.
- Authored by leading international experts, offering an integrated multidisciplinary perspective that connects optical theory, biological structure, and visual perception.
