The Biology of Degenerative Joint Disease

magnetic shutter, flash techniques, rotating shutters, the stroboscope and several high-speed techniques such as the Kerr Cell. Crawford and Jones explain how the measurement and calibration of the stimulus is accomplished by comparing it with a standard source using a thermopile, bolometer, photocell or other light sensitive device. They explore the knowledge of photometric and radiometric rel...
