		This surface modification causes relative advance of the wavefront that culminates at the 0.707 zone, and diminishes to zero at the edge and the center, resulting in a corrected, spherical shape of the wavefront.
		This same wavefront modification is accomplished with the Schmidt corrector with the neutral zone at 0.707 of the radius.
		Consequently, for a given mirror, theoretical maximum thickness of the glass needed to be removed from the mirror center and the edge, when parabolizing, is smaller by a factor of (n-1)/2 from the (maximum) Schmidt corrector depth at the 0.707 zone.

		The effect of this was to nullify 'coma', the optical distortion of focus away from the centre of the image, and thus to bring the entire image into a single focus.
		Schmidt was born on the island of Naissaar.
		By replacing the parabolic mirror of a telescope with a spherical one plus his correcting lens, Schmidt could produce an image that was sharply focused at every point (generally on a curved photographic plate, although on later models he used a second lens to compensate for the use of a flat photographic plate).

	Sample History: Schmidt - Knowledge Base, HouseofNames.com
		Bearers of the family name Schmidt were found in the northern provinces that were later to make up Prussia, where the name emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families of the region.
		One branch of the Schmidt family took the Latin form of the name, "Fabricius"; after being named to the nobility they were among the first to use the German form of their name, but were forced by the violence of the Thirty Year's War (1618-1648) to flee their lands and settle in Brandenburg.
		Schmidts have been traced to Sweden, Rotterdam, and almost all regions of Germany of the 17th and 18th centuries, including Silesia, Saxony, Berlin, Mecklenburg, and as far south as Switzerland.

	Schmidt camera
		A type of photographic telescope that uses a spheroidal primary mirror with a corrector plate at its center of curvature to eliminate spherical aberration; it is named after its inventor, the Estonian-born instrument-maker Bernhard Schmidt (1879-1935).
		Schmidt cameras address a weakness of reflecting telescopes that are based on parabolic mirrors, namely, which is that the accurate focusing only occurs for light falling on the center of the paraboloid.
		A Baker-Schmidt telescope is a modified type of Schmidt camera designed, by James Baker (1914-) of Harvard in 1940, to produce an image free of astigmatism and coma.

		The Schmidt camera is a clever coupling of a spherical mirror and correction lens that permits wide-field images with exceptional acuity.
		The 48-inch Schmidt at Palomar Observatory generated the invaluable Palomar Sky Survey and is perhaps the premier instrument of this class.
		Schmidt finally obtained permanent employment at the Hamburg Observatory in 1926 where he went with Walter Baade, the great German, and later, American astronomer on a four-month eclipse expedition to the Philippines in 1929.

		The most successful short-focus photographic telescope is the Schmidt Camera, first described in 1932 in a paper by Bernhard Schmidt of the Hamburg Observatory in Germany.
		Schmidt's life is as interesting as the novel optical system he introduced.
		The camera he introduced, generally referred to as the basic "Schmidt Camera," consists of a concave spherical mirror in front of which is a thin and optically weak corrector plate.

		Thus in the case of the original Schmidt camera the focal plan is curved and, for any desirable focal ratio, all but inaccessible, making it essentially impossible to use a standard camera body to hold the film.
		While Celestron did briefly make a range of classical Schmidt cameras (if my memory serves they had clear apertures of 5"-8" and focal ratios of about f/1.5) and were sold with special curved film holders.
		It is not known if the request was motivated by Schmidt's demonstration that aberrations could be reduced or eliminated by additional optics or not.

	Mandelring Quartett - Presse
		This German ensemble is comprised of three siblings - violinists Sebastian Schmidt and Nanette Schmidt, and cellist Bernhard Schmidt with Michael Scheitzbach on viola; all are exceptionally secure instrumentalists and their New York debut was unmistakably that of an exciting virtuoso aggregation.
		Since the violinist Nanette and the cellist Bernhard showed themselves to be in immediate and instinctive agreement with their brother, three very different works gained not only exemplary transparency of detail but total conviction in their whole form, as the Mendelssohn quartet mentioned above showed from the start.
		With this work, the young musicians (Sebastian, Nanette and Bernhard Schmidt together with Michael Scheitzbach) emerged as advocates of new music, possessing all the technical armoury such a piece demands, which extends far beyond the parameters of traditional quartet playing.

		This is the basis of the 15-cm aperture f/3.3 lensless Schmidt camera of 50 cm focal length, first described at the BAA Astrophotographic Section Meeting on 1989 April 22 (Figure 2).
		The Schmidt camera will be twice the length of a Newtonian of similar focal length with the aperture stop at the mirror radius.

		A week after taking the exam, Schmidt and Bernhard were comparing notes on how they had worked the problems and guessing whether they had passed or failed.
		While they were talking, Bernhard confided that Dr. Maxwell, his adviser and the Ph.D. committee head, had told him that Schmidt had done very poorly on one of the five exam problems.
		There's nothing we can do about that." Schmidt, feeling that she had been failed by two people she saw as her mentors, was reluctant to pursue the matter with the department head, for fear he would also dismiss her concerns with little thought.

	Bernard Schmidt - His Camera and Its Derivatives - By Mark Christensen, Ph.D.
		The key concept behind the Schmidt Camera is the use of a spherical mirror (the easiest shape to make), arranged symmetrically so as to avoid off axis aberrations, together with an aspheric (that is, non-spherical) corrector plate, whose function is to eliminate the residual spherical aberration of the mirror.
		Schmidt's solution was to introduce a plate (called variously a Schmidt corrector or a Schmidt plate) in front of the mirror.
		Many other alternatives of the basic Schmidt design were invented, as exemplified by the no less than 22 (!) variations presented in the article by Hendrix and Christie, first published in 1939 in Scientific American, and reprinted in ATM3.

		Second, in 1930, the one-armed optical genius Bernhard Schmidt in Hamburg invented a telescope with a revolutionary new design, which allowed high-resolution photography over a wide field of view.
		His discovery of dark matter came from studying the motions of individual galaxies in rich clusters of galaxies, and from calculating that the visible mass in the clusters was insufficient by a large factor to cause the observed motions.
		In his summary of the survey, Zwicky proudly asserted: "for the construction of the 18-inch Schmidt telescope, its housing, a full-size objective prism, a small remuneration for my assistant, and the operational costs for the whole project during ten years, only about $50,000 dollars were expended.

	The UK Schmidt Telescope (history) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The Schmidt type of telescope is named after its inventor, Bernhard Schmidt, who discovered in the early 1930s that it was possible to build a telescope with a very wide field of view by a suitable combination of a spherical mirror and corrector-plate lens.
		As the primary objective of both Schmidt telescopes was to map the southern sky, the SERC and ESO agreed to share the survey work, with the UK Schmidt taking plates in blue light and ESO the corresponding set of red photographs.
		The UK Schmidt also carried out a photographic near infrared survey of the Milky Way which has been widely distributed as an atlas made in the ROE Photolabs, and a new atlas of the equatorial strip of sky is now being produced.

	Latest info on the 310 mm F/1.9 Schmidt camera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Bernhard Schmidt is quoted as having stated back in the 1930's that a functional camera (he never called it a Schmidt camera himself) could be built without obligatory requirement for the corrector plate if a sufficiently high focal ratio is used (by means of an aperture stop).
		The Schmidt camera also need not be driven by a computer, as I am building another stand alone stepper motor driver that is tuned from a timer IC and drives the motors via a Johnson counter and a Darlington array.
		Given that the lensless Schmidt has only one optical surface, and this is spherical (the easiest of all optical surfaces to produce and test), this design is much simpler than a Newtonian.

		In par- ticular, the/.5 conventional Schmidt anct thef/0.67 solid- block Schmidt cameras designed by Minkowski for the 100-inch Newtonian spectrograph were faster and produced much better images than the ogler, thick-lens, microscope- objective systems used by Humason for obtaining spectra of faint galaxies.
		Convinced of the advantages of Schmidt cameras for astronomical spectroscopy, he took personal charge of the high-ctispersion couple spectrograph of the 200-inch Hale telescope, but left Minkowski responsible for the fast, low- dispersion prime-focus spectrograph and the 48-inch Schmidt.
