Researches on Normal and Defective Colour Vision

Abstract

THIS book is primarily an account of the researches on colour vision carried out by the author and various co-workers in the technical optics department of the Imperial College of Science and Technology over a period of twenty years. Most of the work has been published, from time to time, as papers in scientific journals or special reports of the Medical Research Council ; but in this book it is re-written as a logically connected story. This adds much to its value, not only by placing the various investigations in their proper perspective relative to each other, but also by collecting between one pair of covers material for which the student has hitherto had to search through many channels.
