Instrumentation comprises scientific activities and technologies that are related
to measurement. It is a link between physical, chemical and biological phenomena
and their perception by humans. Constantly evolving, instrumentation changes how
we live and plays a major role in industrial and life sciences; it is also indispensable
to the fundamental sciences. In order to be credible, all new theories must undergo a
series of experimental validations, of which instrumentation is the cornerstone.
Is curiosity a distinguishing human trait? Certainly, this characteristic leads us to
question, to understand, to explain, and finally to “know”. The more we explore, the
broader our range of investigation becomes. Since the 18th century, scientific and
technical knowledge have undergone an exponential expansion, an explosive growth
of combined learning, but this kind of growth leaves us with unanswered questions.
In this context, instrumentation serves to stimulate scientific knowledge in the
junction between theory and experimental practice.
