About this title

Synopsis:

A much-needed course text in the science and applications of x-rays. Its clear, practical approach also makes it an accessible introduction to x-rays for researchers moving into, for example, x-ray lithography, plasma diagnostics, or x-ray astronomy.
The sources of x-rays and how they compare, x-ray manipulation and detection, the uses of x-rays, and even the manufacture of x-ray optical devices are all described and explained, giving the reader a sound grounding in fundamental x-ray optics and techniques.
Many references and suggestions for further reading make it easy to progress further in your understanding of the subject.

Synopsis:

Based on a MSc course in X-ray science and technology, this edited text covers all aspects of X-ray science, encompassing discovery, sources, interactions, detectors with a wide range of applications and uses. Each chapter corresponds to lecture courses, containing 20 one-hour lectures, given by the named author. Interest in modern X-ray science has been spurred by the advent of synchrotron radiation sources, which have advanced research into X-ray optics and generated a wide range of applications in physics, medicine, biology, industry and technology. The book provides the fundamental principles of this science.
