Oxidation reduction, or redox reactions, involves the transfer of an electron from a donor to an acceptor. The donor loses an electron to change from the reduced to oxidized form and the acceptor gains an electron to change from reduced to oxidized form.
A scintillation counter is a device used for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation.
A level sensor is a device for determining the level or amount of fluids, liquids or other substances that flow in an open or closed system. There are two types of level measurements, namely, continuous and point level measurements.
Component condition monitoring is crucial to reduce machine downtime and lower operating costs. Industrial vehicles are exposed to variable operating conditions, which deteriorate their performance and durability.
A nuclear density gauge is a testing device used to measure the density of a test material with the help of nuclear radiation.
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices which provide visible or infrared light when an electric current is applied. The light emitted by the LED is monochromatic in nature, i.e., occurs at single wavelength.

A position sensor is any device used for measuring the distance traveled by the body starting from its reference position. It measures linear or angular position in reference to a fixed point or arbitrary reference.
Inductive sensors are designed based on the needs of proximity sensor technology, to detect metallic or conductive parts without physical contact or where access is difficult.
A photoelectric sensor is an instrument designed to detect the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter such as an infrared, and a photoelectric receiver. It is also referred to as photo eye.
An interferometer is a device used to measure various parameters of light by dividing the light into several light beams.
