X-Ray Science and Technology,

by Alan G. Michette (Editor), C.J. Buckley (Editor)

A much-needed course text in the science and applications of x-rays. Its clear, practical approach also makes it an accessible introduction to x-rays for researchers moving into, for example, x-ray lithography, plasma diagnostics, or x-ray astronomy.
The sources of x-rays and how they compare, x-ray manipulation and detection, the uses of x-rays, and even the manufacture of x-ray optical devices are all described and explained, giving the reader a sound grounding in fundamental x-ray optics and techniques.
Many references and suggestions for further reading make it easy to progress further in your understanding of the subject.
