Today we take a deep dive into the life and work of Al-Haytham, the Father of Modern Optics. This 11th century mathematician and scientist was one of the first to champion the scientific method and quite literally wrote the book on optical science. Join us as we take a look, through the lens at the Kitab al-Manazir, the Book of Optics. We also will touch on our favorite Indiana Jones moments, the origins of a famous cliché about denial, and a story about a rather eccentric ruler who definitely would've been friends with Cruella DeVille. As always, you can reach out to us for more information on optical coatings! Have a specific question that you want a deep dive answer to? Connect with us at nacl.com!
