Encyclopedia of Sensors and Biosensors, Four Volume Set provides unique foundational level information on the rapidly growing sensor community. The book covers innovations in materials, designs, devices and software that find their way into new types of sensors. Sections include over 1000 color images, including representations of sensor design, sensor manufacturing, and assessments of sensor performance. In addition, applications of sensors in healthcare, food safety, environmental engineering and other fields are discussed, making this a truly interdisciplinary work. The book is structured using a logical and thematic approach, with chapters taking a balanced viewpoint, listing both advantages and disadvantages.
Perfect for those learning their trade in both academia and industry, this vital reference work will serve many groups, including chemists, engineers, biological scientists, clinicians, and industrial researchers.
- Provides students and new scientists with a comprehensive, ‘one-stop’ resource in sensor technology, giving them a solid grounding in unfamiliar topics
- Presents the most up-to-date reference resource available, providing truly interdisciplinary coverage across all aspects of sensor technology
- Ideal for researchers/scientists in both academia and industry
- Allows experienced researchers to put their work into a broader context
- Includes over 1000 color images that detail the full range of sensors and devices covered
