Product Description
This work takes readers on a visual tour of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond the range of human sight, using imaging technology as the means to see invisible light. It explains the light spectrum - from gamma rays to the longest radio waves, and including visible light - and the technologies that create images from the spectrum. Applications ranging from fire fighting and law enforcement to botany and medicine are discussed in detail.

Great book, great vision!

The book disappointed me at first, a little, because I thought I was getting something more of physics, more mathematical, like a high school study book. But as it turned out, it is quite fascinating and pretty! The images taken there are so beautiful, it will not disappoint anyone even if they're into plane physics and not images. I recommend it to everyone who likes physics and light!

Austin is one the foremost scientists in the exciting field of electronic imaging. It was my pleasure to review this book when I was an editor in chief for a trade pub several years back and it is one of my favorites. It is not a tech heavy book, rather well written and a favorite in my personal library. Buy it and you will learn so much and get in on a growing field of applications that now includes ultraviolet imaging in Austin's vast knowledge of emerging photonic and electronic imaging.

Alien Vision What a book!! Austin Richards has done it.

The real life effects of Thermal Images and Electromagnetic Spectrum Imaging by Dr. Richards is the best-kept secret. The amount color images and the current technology are incredible.

This is one you will not be able to put down.
