Overview
A reference on optical imaging techniques, this book covers the field from the basics of the optical microscope to highly advanced techniques such as Forster resonant energy transfer (FRET) and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), in a uniform style and format. It provides an understanding of the underlying principles, so readers can understand the benefits and limitations of each technique described. Topics covered include: optical contrasting techniques, fluorescence and fluorescence microscopes, three-dimensional imaging, the confocal microscope, non-linear microscopy, advanced fluorescence techniques, and breaking the diffraction limit. Chapters include suggestions for further reading.

Reviews
Praise for the First Edition !represents an excellent resource for those wishing to gain a grounding in a broad range of optical techniques!written in a highly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and accessible manner!comprehensively covers virtually the entire field of microscopy. !a valuable addition to the bookshelf of many research laboratories!can quickly and easily provide a clear understanding of commonly used techniques and underlying concepts. Students, technicians, and researchers will find it useful whether they are intending to use the techniques, have been using the techniques for some time, or are merely curious to know more about what the techniques can offer the cell biologist. --Mark Prescott, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, in Australian Biochemist, vol 38 no 3
