The increased use of fluorescence techniques is greatly enhanced by the
improved instrumentation pioneered by inventive scientists and now made
available commercially by several high-tech companies. Moreover, the
design and development of many new molecular probes with higher
selectivity for specific microenvironmental properties has stimulated
many new researchers to employ fluorescence techniques for solving their
problems. This topic book, the second in his series, reflects this
exciting scientific progress and deals, among others, with new
approaches and new probes in fluorescence spectroscopy, single molecule
fluorescence, applications in biomembrane and enzyme studies and imaging
of living cells.
