It is through images that we understand the form and function of
material objects, from the fundamental particles that are the
constituents of matter to galaxies that are the constituents of the
Universe. Imaging must be thought of in a flexible way as varying
from just the detection of objects -- a blip on a screen
representing an aircraft or a vapour trail representing the passage
of an exotic particle -- to displaying the fine detail in the eye
of an insect or the arrangement of atoms within or on the surface
of a solid. The range of imaging tools, both in the type of wave
phenomena used and in the devices that utilize them, is vast. This
book will illustrate this range, with wave phenomena covering the
entire electromagnetic spectrum and ultrasound, and devices that
vary from those that just detect the presence of objects to those
that image objects in exquisite detail. The word fundamentals' in
the title has meaning for this book. There will be no attempt to
delve into the fine technical details of the construction of
specific devices but rather the book aims to give an understanding
of the principles behind the imaging process and a general account
of how those principles are utilized.
