Capture light with clarity and control. Optical Imaging and Photography, 2nd Edition by Ulrich Teubner and Hans Josef Brückner is a comprehensive, modern guide that bridges optical theory and photographic practice for professionals, students, and serious hobbyists.

This updated edition explains image formation from first principles—geometric and wave optics, lens design, aberrations, resolution, and the impact of aperture and focal length—then moves into contemporary topics such as sensor characteristics, color reproduction, and digital image capture. Technical depth is balanced with practical guidance: clear diagrams, worked examples, and application notes that make complex concepts accessible without sacrificing rigor.

Whether you’re an optical engineer optimizing lens performance, a photographer seeking deeper control of exposure and color, or a graduate student studying imaging systems, this book delivers actionable insight. Real-world use cases span studio and landscape photography, microscopy, astrophotography and industrial imaging—making it relevant to readers in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and beyond.

Written in a precise yet approachable style, the book emphasizes problem-solving and design thinking, equipping you to evaluate equipment, diagnose image defects, and make informed choices about optics and digital workflows.
