FOCUS ON MULTIDIMENSIONAL MICROSCOPY
(In 2 Volumes)

edited by P C Cheng (State University of New York, Buffalo), P P Hwang, J L Wu (Academia Sinica, ROC), G Wang (University of Iowa, USA) & H Kim (Ku-Jeau Institute of Science & Technology, Republic of Korea)

This book covers various aspects of modern microscopy, with emphasis on multidimensional (three-dimensional and higher) and multimodality microscopy. The topics discussed include multiphoton fluorescent microscopy, confocal microscopy, x-ray microscopy and microtomography, electron microscopy, probe microscopy and multidimensional image processing for microscopy. In addition, there are chapters demonstrating typical microscopical applications, both biological and material.
