Catoptrics (from Ancient Greek: κατοπτρικός katoptrikós ‘specular’, from Ancient Greek: κάτοπτρον kátoptron ‘mirror’) deals with the phenomena of reflected light and image-forming optical systems using mirrors. A catoptric system is also called a catopter (catoptre).
The analysis highlights History, Catoptric telescopes and Overview as prominent areas in the source structure around Catoptrics.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.
