Product Description
Imaging has become a vital tool for researchers in all aspects of biology. Recent advances in microscope technology, labeling techniques and gene and protein manipulation methods have led to breakthroughs in our understanding of biological processes. In order to take advantage of these techniques, biologists need to understand the fundamental techniques of microscopy. The methods found here, drawn from the popular laboratory standard manuals Cells: A Laboratory Manual and Live Cell Imaging provide a solid course in the basics of using the microscope in a biology laboratory. Basic Methods in Microscopy provides an essential guide to light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, multiphoton microscopy and electron microscopy, preparation of tissues and cells, labeling of specimens and analysis of cellular events.This manual is an important tool for any biology researcher employing imaging as a research method.Related Titles from the Publisher Live Cell Imaging: A Laboratory Manual Cells: A Laboratory Manual Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual Imaging in Neuroscience and Development: A Laboratory Manual Lab Math Lab Ref, Volume 2: A Handbook of Recipes, Reagents, and Other Reference Tools for Use at the Bench Lab Dynamics: Management Skills for Scientists At the Bench At the Helm

A book with useful protocols by Lingyan Wang

4 Stars
March 14, 2008
This is a book covering the principles of all kinds of microscopes with structure figures. There many good color photos and graphs. The protocols of tissue preparations are very useful, but maybe duplicate in other books. If you just want to know how to use the microscopes instead of understanding them, it should be a good book for you. It is more like a lab manual collection. The problem of this book is that it distracts a little bit from microscopes to cell culture and immunohistochemistry.
