By Professor Sami G. El Hage Ph. D., Professor Yves Le Grand Ph. D. (auth.)

This publication is a translation through Professor Sami El Hage of quantity I of Le Grand's three-volume treatise on physiological optics. it's the final of the 3 volumes to be translated into English. Le Grand's moment quantity used to be translated into English via Hunt, Walsh and Hunt and released in 1957 lower than the identify gentle, color and imaginative and prescient. His 3rd quantity used to be translated into English via Millodot and Heath in 1966 and released below the identify shape and area imaginative and prescient. even if Le Grand's 3 volumes were in comparison to the 3 volumes of Helmholtz, it is very important notice that Le Grand has allotted another way the subjects in his 3 volumes. This publication is a mix of the culture tested by way of Helmholtz and by way of Tscherning and Sheard with the culture originated through Danders and via Landolt and Laurance and others. Helmholtz's first quantity was once curious about the picture forming constitution of the attention, virtually irrespective of sensible difficulties of interpreting sufferers and becoming them with glasses. It handled the issues of a unmarried eye.

Photoreceptor Optics

The above attention exhibits that at the present a number of the experi­ psychological evidence on playstation in animals might be quantitatively defined in the limits of the "universal" photoreceptor membrane suggestion. after all, life of preferential orientation of the soaking up dipoles within the tubuli of the rhabdomeres cannot be absolutely rejected.

Calculation of g' is easy when we know the powers D 1 and D 2 of the surfaces and their reduced separation o. 17. Thin Lenses 23 These powers are positive if 1/r1 > 1/r2 , that is to say, ifthe thickness at the center is larger than at the edge; the lens is then said to be convergent. It is divergent if the powers are negative. Consider the combination of a number of thin nonseparated lenses; we can write for each one the conjugation equation X 1 + D" X~ = X 2 + D , . . X~ = Xk with X 2 = x;, ...

The slightest excitation provokes a reflex closing of the eyelids. Near the anterior pole, a young cornea reacts to a force of approximately 20 mg/mm2 , but this great sensitivity has been shown to become somewhat less with age (Millodot, 1977). 75-1 mm wide transitional area between cornea and sclera. The peripheral limit of the cornea is marked by the terminations of the anterior and posterior limiting lamina. The epithelium becomes modified at the. limbus. Its layers become more numerous and less regular and continue into the conjunctiva, which is a thin mucous membrane that covers the anterior one-third of the sclera and which is also found in the posterior surface of the eyelid.

This permits the sclera in this region to deform in reaction to variations of intraocular pressure; this elasticity diminishes with age. Anteriorly, the lamellae are rather parallel to the equator; they form a rigid band in which the extraocular muscles are inserted. A 6 mm wide band of sclera cut in the direction of a meridian can support a 2 kg weight, thus demonstrating the strength of the fibrous structure. The sclera has a poor vascular supply and its sparse innervation renders it rather insensitive.
