Product Description
Laser micromanipulation--implying perforation, cutting and welding of biological objects using. optical tweezers, as well as moving them just by using, forces generated by a laser microbeam--is becoming an increasingly popular technique for studying biological objects, especially automatedDNA sequencing. This book is an excellent introduction to the basics and primarily biological applications of optical trapping and laser microbeam techniques. The author, one of the pioneers of the microbeam technique, examines the field in depth, covering basic physical principles to applications in cell and molecular biology, and biomedicine. This book bridges the gap between physicists who understand the underlying principles of the method but are not aware of its numerous biological applications, and biologists who seek background information on the underlying principles. |

Excellent overview, gives the basics & interesting uses. by Mrs A T O'Neil (Scotland, UK)  5 Stars
June 26, 2001
I work in Optical Tweezers and have done for a few years now. This book is very interesting, so much so that I'd love to own a copy! Unfortunately, I can't really afford it, but it'll certainly be on my Wish List! My supervisor saw it and is going to buy one for the group, so at least I'll have easy access to it.
