Synopsis

This text provides basic information on fluorescence spectroscopy, with a chapter providing an overview of extrinisic fluorophores. The discussion of timeresolved measurements has been expanded to two chapters. Each chapter is followed by a set of problems. The book also contains glossaries for commonly used acronyms and mathematical symbols, and for those wanting additional information the final appendix contains a list of recommended books which expand on various specialized topics.

About this title

Review

about the first edition: Lakowicz's Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy has been the best one-volume introduction to the biophysical principles of fluorescence methods. Now that it has been updated and expanded with new coverage of fluorescent probes and their applications to molecular cell biology and clinical chemistry, it is likely to be the benchmark textbook on fluorescence technology.' Roger Y. Tsien, Ph.D., University of California, San Diego Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy is encyclopedic and comprehensive ...' Britton Chance, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3rd edition

, 3rd edition

Joseph R. Lakowicz

The third edition of the established classic text reference, Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, will enhance upon the earlier editions' successes. Organized as a textbook for the learning student or the researcher needing to acquire the core competencies, Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3e will maintain the emphasis on basics, while updating the examples to include recent results from the literature. The third edition also includes new chapters on single molecule detection, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, novel probes and radiative decay engineering.

This full-color textbook features the following:

• Problem sets following every chapter
• Glossaries of commonly used acronyms and mathematical symbols
• Appendices containing a list of recommended books which expand on various specialized topics
• Sections describing advanced topics will indicate as such, to allow these sections to be skipped in an introductory course, allowing the text to be used for classes of different levels
• Includes CD-ROM of all figures in a low-res format, perfect for use in instruction and presentations

Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3rd edition, is an essential volume for students, researchers, and industry professionals in biophysics, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, biology and medicine.
