Abstract
GAUSS'S theory of lenses and other optical systems, which was published in 1840 in his “Dioptrische Untersuchungen,” and subsequently largely extended by many other investigators, rendered it possible to apply the cardinal theorems relating to the formation of optical images to the most complicated systems of lenses, of which already in Gauss's time the microscope objectives furnished a good example. This theory paved the way for the computation of microscopic objectives and furnished a means of studying the optical principles of the microscope as a whole and the objective and eyepiece considered separately.
