STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY- ITS APPLICATION TO SCIENCE, INDUSTRY AND
EDUCATION By ARTHUR W. JUDGE. Second edition published in 1935. PREFACE
TO SECOND EDITION: SINCE the first edition of this book was written
there has been a good deal of progress in stereoscopy, notably in its
commercial and scientific applications there has also been a number of
important developments in connection with the apparatus used for
stereoscopic methods and photography. The present edition has been
partly re-written and extended to bring it up to date in these respects
no less than 94 pages have been added for this purpose. Whilst amateur
stereoscopic photography has not made any noticeable progress in this
country, there is still an appreciable number of keen workers
enthusiastically pursuing this fascinating branch of photography. On the
Continent, however, there is much more interest taken by the amateur in
this work. The use of commercial stereoscopic photographs has extended
considerably in recent years and many travellers representing commercial
firms now carry round a stereoscope and set of photographs to illustrate
their firms products instead of taking samples or flat photographs. One
large electrical concern has found it profitable to have most of its
spare parts photographed stereoscopically and the complete set of views
sent to all its agencies in different parts of the world. There have
been some important developments in the scientific side in connection
with optical apparatus for examining the eye and the interior of the
stomach, in microscopy, X-ray crystal analysis, X-ray examination of
materials and persons, aerial survey work, etc. Most of these items are
referred to in the present edition. A good deal of attention has been
given to the subject of stereoscopic projection of cine pictures, in
order to obtain natural relief effects upon the screen of the cinema.
Although, from time to time, somewhat extravagant claims have been made
for certain new systems, with the exception, perhaps, of Dr. Ives
limited experimental solution of the problem, none of these appear to
have been successful at the time of going to press. The section of the
original edition on stereoscopic projection has been extended
considerably and accounts are given of Dr. Ives new method and of Bairds
television scheme for trans mitting stereoscopic pictures by wireless.
In revising the earlier edition the opportunity has been taken to
correct one or two errors that crept into it. In conclusion the author
wishes to acknowledge the valuable assistance and useful suggestions of
Messrs. W. E. Dowdy in connection with flower photography and microscopy
and J. F. Stirling in regard to miscellaneous applications of
stereoscopy and R. B. Willcock commercial photography. A. W. JUDGE.
