Fluorescence Microscopy Of Living Cells In Culture Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy Imaging Spectroscopy

Fluorescence Microscopy of Living Cells in Culture, Part B

A comprehensive introduction to advanced fluorescence microscopy methods and their applications. This is the first title on the topic designed specifically to allow students and researchers with little background in physics to understand both microscopy basics and novel light microscopy techniques. The book is written by renowned experts and pioneers in the field with a rather intuitive than formal approach. It always keeps the nonexpert reader in mind, making even unavoidable complex theoretical concepts readily accessible. All commonly used methods are covered. A companion website with additional references, examples and video material makes this a valuable teaching resource: http://www.wiley-vch.de/home/fluorescence_microscopy/

Vesicular Transport, Part A

Providing specific knowledge in the theory of image analysis, optics, fluorescence, and imaging devices in biomedical laboratories, this timely and indispensable volume focuses on the theory and applications of detection, morphometry, and motility measurement techniques applied to bacteria, fungi, yeasts and protozoa.

Fluorescence methods play a leading role in the investigation of biological objects. They are the only non-destructive methods for investigating living cells and microorganisms in vivo. Using intrinsic and artificial fluorescence methods provides deep insight into mechanisms underlying physiological and biochemical processes. This book covers a wide range of modern methods involved in experimental biology. It illustrates the use of fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, flow cytometry, delayed fluorescence, pulse-amplitude-modulation fluorometry, and fluorescent dye staining protocols. This book provides an overview of practical and theoretical aspects of fluorescence methods and their successful application in the investigation of static and dynamic processes in living cells and microorganisms.
