Graham Saxby served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) for 27 years, the first 19 in the trade of photographer, where he undertook almost every possible form of assignment. After being commissioned into the Education Branch, he was Officer Commanding Photographic Science Flight at the RAF School of Photography at Cosford for seven years. On leaving the RAF he joined the staff of what is now the University of Wolverhampton as Senior Lecturer in Educational Technology, later moving to the Department of Applied Sciences to teach modern optics. His research into display holographic techniques has earned him an international reputation, and his books have won several prestigious awards. Currently, he works as a freelance editor and reviewer of technical books and as a consultant in optical and photographic matters. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society.
In summary, the book has many useful formulas for a variety of
designs. It is well organized, so users can easily find the section
relevant to their needs. And the plethora of worked examples is
very helpful. … I see it as a useful introduction to the clinical
researcher and as a reference for the statistician interested in
sample size formulae for specific designs.
—The International Biometric Society, 2012Graham Saxby proves to us
in his brilliantly written and well-structured book that many
essential topics of such a broad and comprehensive field can be
squeezed into 352 pages. In my opinion, anyone having an interest
on current imaging technologies should read it to extend their
knowledge or to develop a broad vision on the field. … it is
definitely suitable as a complementary textbook for undergraduate
courses on imaging and optical technologies. It can as well be used
as a reference book for any interested reader to learn the specific
terminology in the field. … The explanations are extremely
informative and easy to follow. In addition, the text is backed up
with many excellent illustrations and intriguing real life examples
that I think many lecturers would want to make use of them in their
lectures.
—Doga Gürsoy, Contemporary Physics, 2011I recommend this book for
its clear and readable style of a wide-ranging subject. … buy this
book for an easy-to read holistic account of scientific imaging
…
—Jeremy Sanderson, Blo-Imaging Facility, MRC, Harwell, UK, INFOCUS,
2011Praise for the First Edition:... a truly valuable book,
magnificently bringing together such diverse technologies, yet
keeping a practical eye on who is likely to be reading it. It's the
best book I have read on the subject at this level.
—Ron Graham, RPS Journal
... well written ... lots of helpful marginal notes …if your
research depends on obtaining and analysing top-quality images,
