Description
This authoritative work on the history of scientific instruments brings together information from hundreds of primary sources and specialized studies. Written by 223 scientists, instrument designers, and historians, the Encyclopedia’s 327 entries cover instruments from the dawn of science to the present and examine devices designed for cutting-edge research. For each instrument it is explained how a device works, how it is used, who developed it and what it looks like. The Encyclopedia is the first reference work to cover the wide historical range of instruments and also the first to consider applications, innovations and costs. Because of its focus on 20th century devices and disciplines, the coverage is particularly valuable to students and scholars of modern science and technology. A professional reference for scientists in the field of research and technology.
