The importance of surface metrology has long been acknowledged in manufacturingand mechanical engineering but has now gained growing recognition in anexpanding number of new applications in fields such as semiconductorselectronics and optics. Metrology is the scientific study of measurement andsurface metrology is the study of the measurement of rough surfaces. In thisbook Professor David Whitehouse an internationally acknowledged subjectexpert covers the wide range of theory and practice including the use of newmethods of instrumentation.Written by one of the worlds leading metrologistsCovers electronics andoptics applications as well as mechanicalWritten for mechanical andmanufacturing engineers tribologists and precision engineers in industry andacademia «
