Further Developments In Scientific Optical Imaging (Paperback - 2000)

About the Book
The number of researchers using imaging devices in their work continues to increase rapidly. Disciplines including astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics and manufacturers of imaging devices, optical components and complete optical systems are recognising the enormous potential. Further Developments in Scientific Optical Imaging brings together the latest information on commercial and academic research, development and applications in scientific optical imaging, from state-of-the-art devices to exciting explorations in space. Topics range from a new generation of CCDs, through spectroscopic applications of CTDs, to improved image processing and new applications for microscopy and spectroscopy. Experts from around the world provide overviews of important aspects of optical imaging, such as design considerations, device fabrication and integration, and data reduction. Comprehensive and international in coverage, this book will be welcomed by developers, manufacturers and users of this technology in universities, observatories and businesses around the world.
