Fluorescence microscopy

This new work in two volumes covers all aspects of fluorescence microscopy, including instrumentation, applications to a wide variety of fields, and the history of the technique. There is a chapter on quantitative techniques, including scanning, which is dealt with in more detail in a companion volume, Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy. Volume 1 deals with instrumentation and techniques for fluorescence microscopy, and includes the chapter on quantitation and scanning. Volume 2 deals with the applications of fluorescence microscopy in many fields. It includes information on fluorocarbons and on autofluorescence. An invaluable appendix provides an alphabetical list of fluorochromes, giving information concerning chemical structure, fluorescence properties, applications, and suitable filter combinations
