USDThis fully updated, self-contained textbook covering modern optical microscopy equips students with a solid understanding of the theory underlying a range of advanced techniques. Two new chapters cover pump-probe techniques, and imaging in scattering media, and additional material throughout covers light-sheet microscopy, image scanning microscopy, and much more. An array of practical techniques are discussed, from classical phase contrast and confocal microscopy, to holographic, structured illumination, multi-photon, and coherent Raman microscopy, and optical coherence tomography. Fundamental topics are also covered, including Fourier optics, partial coherence, 3D imaging theory, statistical optics, and the physics of scattering and fluorescence. With a wealth of end-of-chapter problems, and a solutions manual for instructors available online, this is an invaluable book for electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and physics students taking graduate courses on optical microscopy, as well as advanced undergraduates, professionals, and researchers looking for an accessible introduction to the field.
- Self-contained, covering fundamental physical theory as well as practical applications
- Provides comprehensive coverage of both classical and modern optical microscopy techniques
- Includes numerous end-of-chapter problems, with a solutions manual for instructors available online
Reviews & endorsements
'Of the many books available on microscopy, my favorite has been Introduction to Optical Microscopy by Jerome Mertz. Now this excellent book is available in an even better second edition.' Joseph W. Goodman, Stanford University, California
'For advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and engineers who want to gain indepth understanding of the principles of optical microscopy or develop their own microscopes, this book is a must-have.' Yang Liu, University of Pittsburgh
'No other book covers microscopy theory as broadly as Mertz’s, nor with his consistent focus on ts theoretical underpinnings. His book fills a clear pedagogical gap in the literature, and is an excellent resource for professionals as well as students new to the field.' Neil Switz, San Jose State University
'This excellent, perspicuous textbook, based on Fourier and statistical optics, details the derivations of the equations used to mathematize the physics of optical microscopy.' Barry R. Masters, Optics & Photonics News
‘Introduction to Optical Microscopy is an excellent textbook for the fields where microscope is used, in particularly for biomedical imaging and biomedical engineering. It also covers modern optical microscope, including super resolution microscopy.’ Guiren Wang, University of South Carolina
