Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy [Paperback]

This book gives details of the purpose of, and practical requirements for, the different imaging modes along with guidelines for sample preparation and imaging protocols. The limitations and sensitivity of each method are discussed, imaging applicationsThis book gives details of the purpose of, and practical requirements for, the different imaging modes along with guidelines for sample preparation and imaging protocolsIntroduction; Image formation in the confocal laser scanning microscope; Performance of confocal microscopes; Image processing of confocal image data sets; Confocal fluorescence microscopy; Biological applications of confocal reflection microscopy... The book is richly illustrated and includes several impressive colour micrographs which go a long way to show the power of the technique (as well as the artistic beauty of the results, especially when used with biological samples).
