Detecting Signals at the Single Molecule Level: Pioneering Achievements in Microscopy Recent advances have led to such remarkable improvements in fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy’s (FLIM) capacity for contrast and sensitivity that researchers can now employ it to detect signals at the single molecule level. FLIM also offers the additional benefit of independence from fluorophore... Read more

"…this book represents a clear presentation of the theory, instrumentation, and data analysis of FLI microscopy and is enhanced by the critical discussions of assumptions, limitations and confounding elements… ."
—Barry R. Masters, MIT, Microscopy and Microanalysis

"…an excellent and comprehensive treatment of FRET in biology investigation. It has a good balance of basic theory and cutting-edge development in both techniques and applications."
—Peter So, Ph.D., MIT

"An amazingly comprehensive reference—I can’t imagine anyone looking for information there and not finding what they need. It is quite essential for any lab doing FLIM."
—Guy Cox, University of Sydney, Australia
