01-16-2013 Experimental research in physics relies a great deal on specialized equipment and precise instrumentation. This journal is devoted to the theory, practice, and application of measurement in physics, chemistry, engineering, and the environmental and life sciences. Topics of interest include: measurement theory and practical developments; sensors and sensor systems; optical and laser-based techniques; measurement methods for fluids; imaging techniques; spectroscopy; techniques for materials and materials processing evaluation; measurement techniques for biological, medical, and life science applications; and novel instrumentation. Full-length research papers, rapid communications, review articles, technical design notes, and conference reports are all included. This title is part of the Journal of Physics collection and is the British equivalent of the Review of Scientific Instruments (see below). It belongs in any physics research collection.
