Far from merely involving the replacement of oneoptical theory by another, the revolution also involved substantialchanges in instruments and the practices that surrounded them.People‘s judgements about classification, explanation and evaluationwere affected by the way they used such optical instruments asspectroscopes, telescopes, polarisers, photometers, gratings, prismsand apertures. There were two instrumental traditions in thishistorical period, each of which nurtured a body of practice thatexemplified how optical instruments should be operated, and especiallyhow the eye should be used. These traditions functioned just likeparadigms, shaping perspectives and even world views. ..Readership:. Scholars and graduate students in the history ofscience, history of instrument, philosophy of science and sciencestudies. Can also be used as a textbook in graduate courses on 19thcentury physics. | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | 关键词 | 19th century; Prism; optical instruments; optical revolution; optical theory; philosophy of science; scien | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-4195-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-5824-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-4195-6Series ISSN 0924-4697 | issn_series | 0924-4697 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2000 |
