Learning outcomes |
This course aims to demonstrate knowledge about the operation and characteristics of various optical instruments. Know and identify the main components of an optical system and understand the result of combining basic optical instruments to form more specific instruments.
At the end of the course, the student must:
- Understand the operation of various optical instruments, including magnifiers, cameras, telescopes, microscopes, etc.
- Know how to calculate the optical parameters of simple instruments and characterize the image formed by them.
- Know how to analyze an optical system using optical systems calculation/design software.
- Set up optical bench experiments that illustrate the operation of basic optical instruments.
- Know how to prepare reports to synthesize results of experimental works on experimental optics.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching/learning activities of the curricular unit comprise theoretical-practical and practical classes. In these, students will review and learn the contents related to Geometrical Optics, skills in using software for calculating optical systems and assembling optical bench instruments in the laboratory. In the end, the student should be able to recognize the physical principles underlying optical instruments and use them in practice. They should also be able to know how to relate these principles to the operation of optometric equipment.
2 evaluation regimes are foreseen:
- presential;
- not presential.
In both, the student will have to carry out a theoretical assessment that is worth 50% of the UC classification and will be evaluated in the practical component through works and/or reports that are worth the remaining 50% of the classification.
