BUILDING
SCIENTIFIC
APPARATUS
Fourth Edition

Unrivalled in its coverage and unique in its hands-on approach, this guide to the design and construction of scientific apparatus is essential reading for all scientists and students in the physical, chemical, and biological sciences and engineering.
Covering the physical principles governing the operation of the mechanical, optical and electronic parts of an instrument, the fourth edition contains new sections on detectors, low-temperature measurements, high-pressure apparatus, and updated engineering specifications. There are over 400 figures and tables to permit specification of the components of apparatus, many new to this edition.
Data on the properties of materials and components used by manufacturers are included. Mechanical, optical, and electronic construction techniques carried out in the laboratory, as well as those let out to specialized shops, are also described. Step-by-step instruction, supported by many detailed figures, is given for laboratory skills such as soldering electrical components, glassblowing, brazing, and polishing. j o h n h . m o o r e is Professor Emeritus at the University of
Maryland. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

His research has included plasma chemistry, high-energy electron scattering, and the design and fabrication of instruments for use in the laboratory and on spacecraft. c h r i s t o p h e r c . d a v i s is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers. Currently his research deals with free space optical and directional RF communication systems, plasmonics, near-field scanning optical microscopy, chemical and biological sensors, interferometry, optical systems, bioelectromagnetics, and
