Principles of Biophotonics, Volume 6

Principles of Biophotonics, Volume 6 Synopsis

Principles of Biophotonics aims to teach students, instructors, and professionals the basis of optical techniques for biological investigation. It is a textbook for experimentalists who are active at the interface between biology, medicine, and optics (i.e. biological optics, biomedical optics, biophotonics, etc). The book will present the unifying optics principles employed in this broad and interdisciplinary field. With the format of a classical textbook, this work will contain both the underlying theory of biological optics and applications to real laboratory problems via exercises and homework. While keeping mathematical rigor, the theory will be presented with stress on the physical phenomena and heavy use of the linear systems approach and frequency domain representation. The book will emphasize the similarity between various techniques, thus reducing the number of governing concepts as much as possible.
