Download or read book Imaging Neurons written by Rafael Yuste and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, advances in microscopy have been coupled with new methods of culturing and labeling cells to generate the new science of imaging. Imaging technologies allow investigators to look directly inside living cells and probe their form and function in unprecedented detail. This approach is revolutionizing many aspects of biomedical research, particularly neuroscience, in which visual techniques have traditionally been so important. This manual is the first comprehensive description of the range of imaging technologies being applied to living cells. With its origins in a laboratory course taught at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory by the editors and contributors, it is packed with the kind of technical detail and practical advice that are essential for success, yet seldom found in the research literature. It covers both established methods and cutting-edge techniques such as multiphoton excitation microscopy and imaging of genetically engineered probes. Although it is neurons to which these technologies are most commonly applied, the methods described are readily adaptable to many other cell types. This book will therefore be an invaluable aid to investigators in cell and developmental biology and immunology as well as neuroscience who wish to take advantage of the extraordinary insights into cellular function offered by imaging technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience.Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

Download or read book Chlorophyll a Fluorescence in Aquatic Sciences Methods and Applications written by David J. Suggett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements of variable chlorophyll fluorescence have revolutionised global research of photosynthetic bacteria, algae and plants and in turn assessment of the status of aquatic ecosystems, a success that has partly been facilitated by the widespread commercialisation of a suite of chlorophyll fluorometers designed for almost every application in lakes, rivers and oceans. Numerous publications have been produced as researchers and assessors have simultaneously sought to optimise protocols and practices for key organisms or water bodies; however, such parallel efforts have led to difficulties in reconciling processes and patterns across the aquatic sciences. This book follows on from the first international conference on “chlorophyll fluorescence in the aquatic sciences” (AQUAFLUO 2007): to bridge the gaps between the concept, measurement and application of chlorophyll fluorescence through the synthesis and integration of current knowledge from leading researchers and assessors as well as instrument manufacturers.
