Description
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive reference work details the latest developments in fluorescence imaging and related biological quantification. It explores the most recent techniques in this imaging technology through the utilization and incorporation of quantification analysis which makes this book unique. It also covers super resolution microscopy with the introduction of 3D imaging and high resolution fluorescence. Many of the chapter authors are world class experts in this medical imaging technology.
Trade Review"Microscopy techniques have brought significant improvements and novel implementations to several fields in the past few years. This compendium offers a fresh review of several techniques (fluorescence confocal, Raman and AFM) and their applications to life sciences; it will be useful to the experienced researcher as well as to the student approaching the use and applications of microscopy techniques."
