The aim of this work is to provide a single point of reference from which a reader with no prior specialist knowledge may gain a deep and comprehensive understanding of all contemporary techniques commonly used in the experimental imaging of particulate and multiphase systems - including both current "standard" techniques and new "bleeding-edge" methods yet to be widely adopted, but which may form the next generation of particle imaging technology.
Volume 1 focuses on optical and electromagnetic techniques, which are, on the whole, underpinned by relatively simple and widely-known physical concepts, utilise relatively simple detector systems, and do not carry any significant safety concerns in their operation.
