Out of Print
Fluorescence microscopy is used for studying the distribution of substances which are present in very small amounts, for example in living cells. This magnificent new work provides comprehensive cover of all aspects of fluorescence microscopy - including instrumentation, applications, and the history of the technique. The first volume deals with instrumentation and techniques for fluorescence microscopy, and includes a chapter on quantification and scanning. The second volume deals with the applications of fluorescence microscopy in many fields. It includes information on autofluorescence, and an invaluable appendix provides an alphabetical list of fluorochromes, giving information concerning chemical structure, fluorescence properties, applications and suitable filter combinations.
- Volume 2 of set
- Covers applications to many different fields
- Comprehensive coverage of techniques
Reviews & endorsements
"This is an excellent book, dealing with many aspects of the application of fluorescence microscopic techniques in a variety of different fields. It is well illustrated with numerous chemical structures, tables, and photographs, and provides a thoroughly readable and informative text with many valuable references for Ph.D students, researchers, and pathologists." Q. Peng, Journal of Ultrastructural Pathology
"...would make a solid addition to the reference collection of any laboratory using fluorescence microscopy." R.J.C. McLean, Canadian Society of Microbiologists
"The chapters in this Vol. II are well written and contain a wealth of information....Overall, this book gives a good overview of the various aspects of fluorescence microscopy and would be an appropriate text to use as an introduction to this broad field." Myriam Belanger, CSM Newsletter
