Infos

This is the first title on the topic designed specifically to allow students and researchers with no background in physics to understand novel light microscopy techniques. Each chapter is written by a renowned expert with many contributions by pioneers in the field, but the editors have ensured that all commonly used methods are covered and that each chapter is comprehensible for non-experts and conforms to the same easily legible standard and style. A companion website with additional examples and video material makes this a valuable teaching resource.

Ulrich Kubitscheck is the department head of Biophysical Chemistry at the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat in Bonn, Germany. Having obtained his academic degrees from the University of Bremen, he spent his career working a The Weizmann Institute of Science and the Institute of Medical Physics and Biophysics of the Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat Munster before taking up his present appointment at Bonn University. Professor Kubitscheck develops single molecule imaging techniques, has authored over 60 scientific publications and has extensive experience in teaching courses on physical chemistry, biophysics and quantitative microscopy.
Biography Reiner Peters
Reiner Peters is Visiting Professor at the Rockefeller University in New York, USA. Having obtained his academic degrees from the Freie Universitat, Berlin, Germany, he worked at Max-Planck-Institutes in Gottingen and Frankfurt and was a professor at the Institute of Medical Physics and Biophysics of the Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat Munster, Germany, before moving to the Rockefeller University in New York, USA.
