Description
Springer Cell Imaging Techniques Methods And Protocols by Douglas J. Taatjes , Brooke T. Mossman
This book is a diverse collection of state-of-the-art methods for the microscopic imaging of cells and molecules. The authors cover a wide spectrum of complimentary techniques, including such methods as fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and laser scanning cytometry. Additional readily reproducible protocols on confocal scanning laser microscopy, quantitative computer-assisted image analysis, laser-capture microdissection, microarray image scanning, near-field scanning optical microscopy, and reflection contrast microscopy round out this eclectic collection of cutting-edge imaging techniques now available. The authors also discuss preparative methods for particles and cells by transmission electron microscopy._x000D_ _x000D_Molecular Beacons: Fluorescent Probes for Detection of Endogenous mRNAs in Living Cells Diana P.
