Description
The use of fluorescent and luminescent probes to measure biological function has increased dramatically since publication of the First
Edition due to their improved speed, safety, and power of analytical approach. This eagerly awaited Second Edition, also edited by Bill
Mason, contains 19 new chapters and over two thirds new material, and is a must for all life scientists using optical probes.
The contents
include discussion of new optical methodologies for detection of proteins, DNA and other molecules, as well as probes for ions, receptors,
cellular components, and gene expression. Emerging and advanced technologies for probe detection such as confocal laser scanning microscopy
are also covered. This book will be essential for those embarking on work in the field or using new methods to enhance their research.
Audience
Cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, and physiologists; postgraduates and research workers in both academia and industry
and clinical researchers. This book will be invaluable for those wishing to start using optical probes and also for researchers in the
field who want to use the most up-to-date techniques.
