| description abstract | The purpose of publishing these entries is to draw attention to the innovative features of optical diagnostic techniques and aesthetic qualities of thermal processes. To focus on visualization images and schematics, the text is kept to a minimum and further details should be found directly from the authors. Our wish is that the journal readers enjoy viewing these collections, acquire knowledge of the stateoftheart features, and also promote their participation in the 2013IMECE Photogallery to be held in San Diego, California on Nov. 15–21 (http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2013/). | |
