Physical Methods of Chemistry: Components of Scientific Instruments and Applications of Computers to Chemical Research v.1

Presented in this book is the state-of-the-art methods of instrumental chemical analysis, measurement and control, with an emphasis on application. Volume 1 describes general laboratory techniques along with a range of components, tools, and techniques rarely found in one source. These include: types of integrated circuits available, vacuum and ultra-high vacuum equipment and methods, application of optical equipment and using computers for digital control of instrumentation. Also provided is a compendium of specific techniques, glassware and other equipment for handling air-sensitive and toxic material
