Designed to provide beginners with an introduction to optical metrology without sacrificing academic rigor, this comprehensive handbook discusses fundamental principles and techniques before exploring practical applications. Featuring contributions from veteran and up-and-coming researchers, the Second Edition offers ten new chapters-more than 200 pages-on surface roughness and micro-profiles, high-speed photography, fiber sensors and applications, microscopy, coordinate-measuring machines with optical and video probes, optical CT (computed tomography), industrial endoscopes and bore-scopes, measurement and inspection in the semiconductor and car industries, and optical methods of mechatronics.
