"A genuine introduction to the subject, The Science of Imaging: An Introduction keeps the mathematics to a minimum and is copiously littered with examples. It takes the reader on a grand tour of imaging. Starting with the fundamentals of light and basic cameras, the authors journey through television and holography to advanced scientific and medical imaging. Topics such as digital recording of images, the photographic process, and film development are dealt with in an informative and entertaining manner"--

Suitable for those involved in holography, this book introduces the principles behind holography and takes the reader through the materials, equipment, and techniques required to produce their own holograms. It is also suitable for research scientists working with holographic techniques in various applications.

Revised to reflect technological advances and new applications, Practical Holography, Third Edition is a classic, comprehensive text suitable for anyone involved in holography, from the interested amateur to the practicing research scientist. At its most basic level, the book introduces the principles behind holography and takes the reader on a step-by-step course through the materials, equipment, and techniques required to produce their own holograms. The author takes a purely practical viewpoint, keeping the mathematical content to a minimum. Later chapters of the book form a valuable...

Continuing in the steps of its predecessors, the fourth edition of Practical Holography provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource available. Focused on practical techniques in holography at all levels, it avoids any unnecessary mathematical theory.
