      abstract = {This book is a comprehensive technical treatise on  binoculars as visual optical instruments. The author begins  by discussing the function of binoculars and the properties  of human visual perception. Theoretical models for the  synthesis of binoculars and the complex interplay of the  different components of binoculars are described.  Subsequently, the performance limits, as experienced by the  observer in a variety of external conditions, are derived.  In the concluding section, the book takes the reader  outdoors, where they learn to evaluate the properties and  limitations of their binoculars in the field, and to  recognize possible problems that may be due to  manufacturing errors or accidental damages. Thus, a level  of knowledge is provided that will enable the reader to  fully exploit the capacities of their binoculars. This book  is written for those who work professionally with  binoculars and are technically interested, but it is  equally useful for professional staff working in the  optical industry and the distribution of optical  instruments. It includes recent discoveries and is easily  accessible to anyone who is seriously interested in  learning about binocular function. High school level math  is useful to understand the derivations, but not needed to  comprehend the results, which are discussed and displayed  graphically.},
