A comprehensive account of the instrumentation and techniques of fluorescence microscopy.
"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."
