About this Book

Product Information

About The Product

Sensors is the first self-contained series to deal with the whole area of sensors. It describes general aspects, technical and physical fundamentals, construction, function, applications and developments of the various types of sensors.

Consisting of nine volumes altogether, with eight dedicated to various topics and the ninth as cumulative index, each volume offers in-depth information in one particular field within sensor technology.

The entire set is an indispensable reference work for both specialists and newcomers, researchers and developers working in this interdisciplinary field that ranges from research to commercial application.
