Industrial Instrumentation . Welcome to Industrial Instrumentation Applied Physics and Technology Section Department of Physics, University of Bergen . In connection with its high energy physics and space physics research, the Department of Physics has a long tradition of research within instrumentation. Instruction in instrumentation and electronics was formalized into a separate study plan in 1980 and further strengthened by the foundation of the Industrial Instrumentation Research Group in 1986. This was part of a strategy to strengthen teaching and research within applied physics and technology at the University of Bergen.
Instrumentation plays an important role in our daily life.
The limits of what can be measured and controlled electronically are continually being stretched. In the Industrial Instrumentation Research Group we participate actively in this process. We utilize various chemical and physical material properties to develop sensors and instruments for a number of applications. Tomographic imaging of various industrial processes is another example of how instrumentation is beneficial with respect to safety as well as cost. We also have several instrumentation projects within other disciplines, such as medical instrumentation and environmental monitoring.
