Optical Imaging Techniques in Cell Biology

by Guy Cox

Optical Imaging Techniques in Cell Biology Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Covering the basics of optical microscopy, as well as recent techniques such as fluorescent lifetime imaging and Frster resonance energy transfer, Optical Imaging Techniques in Cell Biology serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers and students. The author, a renowned scientist, known internationally as an instructor in optical imaging, employs a highly accessible and uniform style. He discusses basic microscopes and their underlying principles, image optimization, and extensions to the confocal principle, including their value to the biologist. He also covers advanced techniques such as deconvolution and fluorescent probes, and offers a preview of future imaging tools and techniques.

Book News Annotation:

A British born botanist who has spent the last three decades in Australia, Cox has also been interested in microscopes most of his life, and has been at the forefront of applying new imaging techniques in biology. Here he surveys the entire field of visible-light imaging in cell biology, from the light microscope and optical contrasting techniques to such current techniques and technologies as nonlinear microscopy, deconvolution and image processing, and quantitative fluorescence. He also discusses such aspects as breaking the diffraction limit, three-dimensional imaging, aberration and their consequences, and image capture.
