About this title

Synopsis

X-ray techniques are widely used throughout science, particularly in physics, chemistry, materials science, biology and medicine. This work introduces the basic physical principles underlying the production of X-rays and their interaction with matter. It explains how these properties are used in a range of applications. This book aims to enable the reader to gain effective, practical knowledge from many examples and applications drawn from different areas of this diverse field and includes some of the MATLAB programs used to generate key figures.
