Cover of Building scientific apparatus

Building scientific apparatus

"Unrivalled in its coverage and unique in its hands-on approach, this guide to the design and construction of scientific apparatus is essential reading for all scientists and students in the physical, chemical, and biological sciences, and engineering. Building Scientific Apparatus covers the physical principles governing the operation of the mechanical, optical, and electronic parts of an instrument. The skills required in the design process, such as mechanical drawing, circuit analysis, and optical ray-tracing and matrix methods, are explained in detail, and dedicated chapters deal with temperature measurement, vacuum technology, detectors, and electron optics"—Back cover.
