  • Chapter 3 (Aberrations)
    Chapter 3 Aberrations 3.1 Introduction In Chap. 2 we discussed the image-forming characteristics of optical systems, but we limited our consideration to an infinitesimal thread- like region about the optical axis called the paraxial region. In this chapter we will consider, in general terms, the behavior of lenses with finite apertures and fields of view. It has been pointed out that well- corrected optical systems behave nearly according to the rules of paraxial imagery given in Chap. 2. This is another way of stating that a lens without aberrations forms an image of the size and in the loca- tion given by the equations for the paraxial or first-order region. We shall measure the aberrations by the amount by which rays miss the paraxial image point. It can be seen that aberrations may be determined by calculating the location of the paraxial image of an object point and then tracing a large number of rays (by the exact trigonometrical ray-tracing equa- tions of Chap. 10) to determine the amounts by which the rays depart from the paraxial image point. Stated this baldly, the mathematical determination of the aberrations of a lens which covered any reason- able field at a real aperture would seem a formidable task, involving an almost infinite amount of labor. However, by classifying the various types of image faults and by understanding the behavior of each type, the work of determining the aberrations of a lens system can be sim- plified greatly, since only a few rays need be traced to evaluate each aberration; thus the problem assumes more manageable proportions.

  • Making Your Own Astronomical Camera by Susan Kern and Don Mccarthy
    www.astrosociety.org/uitc No. 50 - Spring 2000 © 2000, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. Making Your Own Astronomical Camera by Susan Kern and Don McCarthy An Education in Optics Dissect & Modify the Camera Loading the Film Turning the Camera Skyward Tracking the Sky Astronomy Camp for All Ages For More Information People are fascinated by the night sky. By patiently watching, one can observe many astronomical and atmospheric phenomena, yet the permanent recording of such phenomena usually belongs to serious amateur astronomers using moderately expensive, 35-mm cameras and to scientists using modern telescopic equipment. At the University of Arizona's Astronomy Camps, we dissect, modify, and reload disposed "One- Time Use" cameras to allow students to study engineering principles and to photograph the night sky. Elementary school students from Silverwood School in Washington state work with their modified One-Time Use cameras during Astronomy Camp. Photo courtesy of the authors. Today's disposable cameras are a marvel of technology, wonderfully suited to a variety of educational activities. Discarded plastic cameras are free from camera stores. Students from junior high through graduate school can benefit from analyzing the cameras' optics, mechanisms, electronics, light sources, manufacturing techniques, and economics. Some of these educational features were recently described by Gene Byrd and Mark Graham in their article in the Physics Teacher, "Camera and Telescope Free-for-All!" (1999, vol. 37, p. 547). Here we elaborate on the cameras' optical properties and show how to modify and reload one for astrophotography. An Education in Optics The "One-Time Use" cameras contain at least six interesting optical components.

    who took Australia by storm in the mid-noughties by playing just about every shitty community hall, PCYC club and two-bit bar on the east coast, are now officially a Big Deal. And this album is their biggest to date. That means Parkway Drive need to be careful about what they say and who they say it to. “When you do a record like this you have to have it ready like six months before its release date,” Winston says. “And every day when you wake up you’re like ‘please don’t have leaked’. The day before we released Vice Grip we started seeing announcements online about how the single was coming out tomorrow. And we called around to figure out what happened and it was a data intercept in Europe. There was someone waiting on the sidelines for information to come through, and when it did they snagged it. We were like ‘who the fuck is even doing that?’ “We also had someone with a fake email address pretending to be Jia writing to our manager saying, ‘Hey, the .wav files aren’t working on my iPod. Can you send me through the mp3s for the album?’ And this guy only fucked up in using the wrong nickname in the email address, which tipped off our manager.” These kind of things are now a reality in the world of Parkway Drive. It’s not like our personable and charismatic front man is complaining though. “I’d rather people be excited about what we’re doing than not giving a fuck full stop … Oh shit, did I just give you a massive blueprint on how to hack us?” the singer laughs.

  • Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal *
    Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal * Stephen S. Hudson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.1/mto.21.27.1.hudson.php KEYWORDS: Heavy Metal, Formenlehre, Form Perception, Embodied Cognition, Corpus Study, Musical Meaning, Genre ABSTRACT: This article presents a new framework for analyzing compound AABA form in heavy metal music, inspired by normative theories of form in the Formenlehre tradition. A corpus study shows that a particular riff-based version of compound AABA, with a specific style of buildup intro (Aas 2015) and other characteristic features, is normative in mainstream styles of the metal genre. Within this norm, individual artists have their own strategies (Meyer 1989) for manifesting compound AABA form. These strategies afford stylistic distinctions between bands, so that differences in form can be said to signify aesthetic posing or social positioning—a different kind of signification than the programmatic or semantic communication that has been the focus of most existing music theory research in areas like topic theory or musical semiotics. This article concludes with an exploration of how these different formal strategies embody different qualities of physical movement or feelings of motion, arguing that in making stylistic distinctions and identifying with a particular subgenre or style, we imagine that these distinct ways of moving correlate with (sub)genre rhetoric and the physical stances of imagined communities of fans (Anderson 1983, Hill 2016).
