 Confocal Microscopy for Biologists (Alan R. Hibbs). Available at Cornell. This manual is intended to teach the basic concepts of microscopy, fluorescence, digital imaging, and the principles of confocal microscopy. It is an excellent reference source for information related to confocal microscopy for both beginners and more advanced users. (Retrieved from wikiscope.org.) |
 Live Cell Imaging (Robert D. Goldman and David L. Spector). Available at Cornell. This manual is a compendium of emerging techniques, organized into two parts: specific methods such as fluorescent labeling, and delivery and detection of labeled molecules in cells; and experimental approaches ranging from the detection of single molecules to the study of dynamic processes in organelles, organs, and whole animals. Although presented primarily as a laboratory manual, the book includes introductory and background material and could be used as a textbook in advanced courses. (Retrieved from Amazon.com.) |
