Author Description

The use to which a particle technology instrument may be put is often a source of amazement. Some years ago an ancient idol of worship disappeared from its base in India only to appear eventually at an auction house in London. Indian authorities immediately recognized the object but were faced with the need for proof that the idol was indeed stolen from their homeland. A judge was convinced and returned the idol when shown that the particle size distribution of dust lifted from the idol was identical to the distribution of dust from the base in India, both measured by Micromeritics' SediGraph. Analytical Methods in Fine Particle Technology - A book by Paul Webb and Dr. Clyde Orr has been prepared to serve those just entering this field of technology as well as experienced researchers seeking insight into particular problems and guidance in achieving the utmost from their testing and research. In clear, concise, and instructive language the authors explain how complicated phenomena are harnessed to reveal benefits that span the gamut of technical endeavor.
