For students of physics in their foundation and main study courses, this book is an accompanying text above all for lectures and placements in elementary and higher experimental physics in the field of optics. Along with the most significant theoretic principles of optics, particular emphasis is given to representing the experimental and application-related aspects of the science: both electromagnetic waves (luminous, laser and x-ray radiation) and waves of matter/particles (electrons, neutrons and atoms).
