International Journal of Tensiography and Computer Methods in Surface Sciences: (We provide here for the publication on the Internet of a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to an innovative area in the analytical instrumentation domain. This will be ground-breaking as regards the scope of Tyndall Publications, and will probably end up on a separate web-site, as it is unrelated to the main content of this site. It is however, being optical, within the scope of the interests of John Tyndall, so for the present we reference it here. Enquiries should go to Dr Norman McMillan, mcmillan (at) itcarlow (dot) ie).
