It can be as large as landscape, or as small as cells. Laser Scanning, Theory and Applications collects up-to-date research on laser-based measurement. It covers top- ics ranging from theories, innovative applications to development of new instruments. Readers are urged to follow the chapter order to get familiar with the working prin- ciples (Chapter 1 to 6), then move on the various examples of medical, biological, ar- chaeological and engineering and applications (Chapter 7 to 22.); at last, learn about the development of several laser-based measurement systems (Chapter 23 to 28.) Or just go directly to the part of interest if background knowledge is already equipped.
