It is through
images that we understand the form and
function of material objects, from the
fundamental particles that are the
constituents of matter to galaxies that
are the constituents of the Universe.
Imaging must be thought of in a flexible
way as varying from just the detection
of objects — a blip on a screen
representing an aircraft or a vapour
trail representing the passage of an
exotic particle — to displaying the fine
detail in the eye of an insect or the
arrangement of atoms within or on the
surface of a solid. The range of imaging
tools, both in the type of wave
phenomena used and in the devices that
utilize them, is vast.

![]() THE FUNDAMENTALS OF
IMAGING
From Particles to Galaxies
by Michael Mark Woolfson (University
of York, UK)
250pp (approx.)
978-1-84816-685-1(pbk): US$36 / £22
US$25.20 /
£15.40
978-1-84816-684-4: US$70 / £43
US$49 / £30.10
This book will
illustrate this range, with wave
phenomena covering the entire
electromagnetic spectrum and ultrasound,
and devices that vary from those that
just detect the presence of objects to
those that image objects in exquisite
detail. The word 'fundamentals' in the
title has meaning for this book. There
will be no attempt to delve into the
fine technical details of the
construction of specific devices but
rather the book aims to give an
understanding of the principles behind
the imaging process and a general
account of how those principles are
utilized.
