Description This third volume in the series represents the Proceedings of the 3rd International Nanophotonics Symposium, July 6-8, 2006, Icho-Kaikan,
Osaka University, Osaka, Japan. Over a two-day symposium, distinguished scientists from around the world convened to discuss the latest
progress in this field and the conclusions have been summarised in Nano Biophotonics: Science and Technology. The contents
of this book have been compiled by invited lecturers, research members of the relevant projects/program, and some of general participants.
The book has 27 chapters which are classified into 4 parts; nano bio-spectroscopy, nano bio-dynamics, nano bio-processing, and nano bio-devices.
Audience
For anyone involved in research into nano biophotonics and its applications
