Download or read book Handbook of Biophotonics written by Jürgen Popp and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 1187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new handbook covers the world of biophotonics not only geographically -- with the editors coming from different continents -- but also in terms of content, since the authors come from the whole spectrum of biophotonic basic and applied research. Designed to set the standard for the scientific community, these three volumes break new ground by providing readers with the physics basics as well as the biological and medical background, together with detailed reports on recent technical advances. The Handbook also adopts an application-related approach, starting with the application and then citing the various tools to solve the scientific task, making it of particular value to medical doctors. Divided into several sections, the first part offers introductory chapters on the different fields of research, with subsequent parts focusing on the applications and techniques in various fields of industry and research. The result is a handy source for scientists seeking the basics in a condensed form, and equally a reference for quickly gathering the knowledge from neighboring disciplines. Absolutely invaluable for biophotonic scientists in their daily work.

Download or read book Principles of Biophotonics written by Gabriel Popescu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Principles of Biophotonics: Linear systems and the Fourier transform in optics aims to teach students, instructors and professionals the basis of optical techniques for biological investigation. It is a textbook for experimentalists who are active at the interface between biology, medicine and optics (i.e. biological optics, biomedical optics, biophotonics, etc), and presents the unifying optics principles employed in this broad and interdisciplinary field. In the format of a classical textbook, this work contains both the underlying theory of biological optics and applications to real laboratory problems via exercises and homework. While keeping mathematical rigor, the theory is presented with stress on the physical phenomena and heavy use of the linear systems approach and frequency domain representation. The book emphasizes the similarity between various techniques, thus reducing the number of governing concepts as much as possible. Part of IPEM-IOP Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology." -- Prové de l'editor.

Book excerpt: This book introduces senior-level and postgraduate students to the principles and applications of biophotonics. It also serves as a valuable reference resource or as a short-course textbook for practicing physicians, clinicians, biomedical researchers, healthcare professionals, and biomedical engineers and technicians dealing with the design, development, and application of photonics components and instrumentation to biophotonics issues. The topics include the fundamentals of optics and photonics, the optical properties of biological tissues, light-tissue interactions, microscopy for visualizing tissue components, spectroscopy for optically analyzing the properties of tissue, and optical biomedical imaging. It also describes tools and techniques such as laser and LED optical sources, photodetectors, optical fibers, bioluminescent probes for labeling cells, optical-based biosensors, surface plasmon resonance, and lab-on-a-chip technologies. Among the applications are optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical imaging modalities, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photobiostimulation or low-level light therapy (LLLT), diverse microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, tissue characterization, laser tissue ablation, optical trapping, and optogenetics. Worked examples further explain the material and how it can be applied to practical designs, and the homework problems help test readers’ understanding of the text.
