Rezensionen

“This slim, well-written book contains at least all that the non-specialist might need to learn about the developments and achievements of adaptive optics in astronomical telescopes. … The language is fluent, the writing clean and clear, and the assembly of unfolding facts almost chronological. … It’s a good read for both astronomer and layperson … .” (Elizabeth Griffin, The Observatory, Vol. 141 (1284), October, 2021)
