Super-Resolution Imaging in Biomedicine
Preview
Book Description
This book encompasses the full breadth of the super-resolution imaging field, representing modern techniques that exceed the traditional diffraction limit, thereby opening up new applications in biomedicine. It shows readers how to use the new tools to increase resolution in sub-nanometer-scale images of living cells and tissue, which leads to new information about molecules, pathways and dynamics. The book highlights the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques, and gives state-of-the-art examples of applications using microscopes currently available on the market. It covers key techniques such as stimulated emission depletion (STED), structured illumination microscopy (SSIM), photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM), and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM). It will be a useful reference for biomedical researchers who want to work with super-resolution imaging, learn the proper technique for their application, and simultaneously obtain a solid footing in other techniques.

Reviews
"an outstanding book suitable for people with interests in the biomedical applications of super-resolution microscopy…. The chapter on structured-light microscopy is another gem, with its exposition of theory, instrumentation and limitations. The warning of artifacts in the specimen preparation, the image acquisition, as well as image analysis and interpretation, permeate the book’s content…. The figures are all high quality"
