Building Scientific Apparatus provides the basic principles of mechanics, optics and electronics required for the design and construction of unique laboratory devices. The required technical skills, as well as the workings of individual components, are described along with "tricks of the trade” that cannot be found elsewhere. Concise text along with tables of materials properties and the characteristics of optical, electronic, and thermal devices are complemented by...
More Description Building Scientific Apparatus provides the basic principles of mechanics, optics and electronics required for the design and construction of unique laboratory devices. The required technical skills, as well as the workings of individual components, are described along with "tricks of the trade” that cannot be found elsewhere. Concise text along with tables of materials properties and the characteristics of optical, electronic, and thermal devices are complemented by hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations. Second Keypoint: Utilizing original drawings and examples, this book refines technical jargon to help scientists understand and create the apparatus and mechanisms fundamental to their studies.
