The Metrology Handbook - The Science of Measurement is a new reference book for those interested in gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of dimensional metrology.

Produced by Mitutoyo, the world's leading manufacturer of precision measurement instruments, the book contains over 250 pages explaining the construction and use of basic measuring tools right through to an overview of some of the most accurate inspection equipment available today. All the basic principles of measurement are described and supported by more than 400 color photographs and illustrations. Written and devised by the world-renowned Mitutoyo Institute of Metrology - this book is an essential reference for any reader whether skilled engineer, apprentice or student.

"The techniques of measurement are often taught on-the-job as one machinist passes skill to another. The science and correct practice of measurement is often missing. As an educator and instructor of dimensional metrology at Rock Valley College (Rockford, IL), I am excited to find a new standard for metrology education. Nobuo Suga has captured the elements of both skill and profound knowledge for teaching the science of measurement.
Technicians, professionals, and students now have an outstanding reference textbook current with rapidly advancing technologies.
Nobuo Suga's book is a "must have" for those serious practitioners in the field of metrology.
I hope this author will work on other topics of advanced measurement."
