Publisher's Synopsis
Dynamic Diffraction is a relatively new technique within the area of diffraction to track the locomotion of microscopic species. This technique has the advantage of tracking very small changes in shape; i.e., on the order of the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation (light) used. Dynamic Diffraction also eliminates the need for video analysis so that data processing can happen on a much faster time scale.
With the push for professors to be involving upper-level undergraduates and first year graduates in research projects, this book covers Dynamic Diffraction with a unique approach by incorporating research techniques at this level. As books are commonly published as either textbooks or high-level research books, this book bridges that gap by incorporating computing and laboratory hardware, so students are "research ready" after using this book.
