Generalized magnification in visual optics. Part 1: Magnification as linear transformation
In Gaussian optics magnification is a scalar; the interpretation is obvious. In linear optics, the simplest optics of astigmatic systems, the generalization is a 2 2× real matrix and, in general, is much harder to interpret. This generalized magnification may imply magnification in the familiar...
