Praise for Earlier Editions: "Lakowiczs Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy has been the best one-volume introduction to the biophysical principles of fluorescence methods. - Roger Y. Tsien Ph.D. Department of Pharmacology and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of California San Diego California "Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy is encyclopedic and comprehensive."- Britton Chance Professor Emeritus in Biochemistry and Biophysics University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Philadelphia Pennsylvania "Recommended without reservation both to the novice and to the expert in fluorescence."- Analytical Biochemistry "In addition to its use as a student text it should be a particularly valuable reference for those involved in biochemical research."- Chemistry in Britain Advance Praise for Third Edition: "This third edition has significantly expanded the topics and will remain as a leading reference as well as a textthe information in the book is valuable for a wide range of disciplines." - Robert M. Clegg Ph.D. Department of Physics University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana Illinois "Overall this is a most welcome and timely transformation of the classic and most comprehensive textbook on fluorescence spectroscopy. It should be the number one item on the shopping list for any student or researcher involved in any aspect of fluorescence be it as a biologist who does some microscopy or a chemist synthesizing novel fluorophores." - Alan Ryder Ph.D. National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science National University of Ireland-Galway Galway Ireland
Summary
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 Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy 3 rd edition is an essential volume for students researchers and industry professionals in biophysics biochemistry biotechnology bioengineering biology and medicine.
