Ground-based optical astronomy is undergoing a renaissance inspired by recent technological advances. This book collects contributions from expert international designers and observers which show the fundamental role of innovative optical design in modern astrophysics and cosmological research. The papers are based on those presented at a conference held at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, Cambridge, in September 1991 in celebration of Professor C. G. Wynne. New and future telescopes, instruments, spectrographs and detector-systems are described in the context of the research problems at which they are targeted. This book is an essential reference for both state-of-the-art instrumentation and future design.
