Any good book on Advanced Laboratory physics?

In summary, the conversation was about finding a book on laboratory physics that goes beyond basic experiments and focuses on important experiments in modern physics. The person asking is a student of theoretical physics and needs help understanding experimental physics. They were recommended Napolitano's book, "Experiments in Modern Physics, 2nd ed," which is written by the same author as the 2nd edition of J.J. Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics."

Hi guys,do you have any suggested book on Laboratory physics? I mean something beyond simple freshman experiments such as verify Newton's second law, but still keep general viewpoints, and focus on important experiments in modern physics,for example the S-G experiment of spin magnetic moment.
I’m a student on theoretical physics,mainly study condensed matter physics,after many years study, I found my knowledge on experimental physics is still very poor,I have some classmate on experimental physics and I tried to ask them about this. But they are too technical ,and they learned up everything in their laboratory without any systematic training, they can't help too much.

thanks, would you tell me the name of this book? I remember this guy is the author of 2nd edition of J.J Sakurai's Modern quantum mechanics, an experimental physics.
Experiments in modern physics, 2nd ed is it this one?
