Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy: Microscopy Handbook Series No. 38
Authors: C. J. R. Sheppard and D. M. Shotton
BIOS Scientific Publishers Ltd. © 1997, 106 pgs., illustrated, soft cover

Confocal laser scanning microscopy is a new, non-destructive technique with major advantages over conventional optical microscopic methods. Integrating a light microscope, a scanning laser and a computer, confocal microscopy allows the generation of three-dimensional images of biological cells and tissues, or successive profiles of multi-layer structures such as integrated circuits.

This book provides a straightforward and comprehensive introduction to confocal microscopy. It describes the fundamental principles of the technique as well as illustrating applications in both the physical and biomedical sciences. The specific topics covered include:

Image formation in confocal microscopy
Performance of the confocal microscope
Image processing of confocal image data sets
Confocal fluorescence microscopy
Biological and industrial applications
Future developments

Richly illustrated with informative color micrographs, Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy is essential reading for those contemplating or new to this type of microscopy. Its value as a reference for experienced confocal microscopists is enhanced by a selected bibliography of the most significant books and reviews in the field, a catalog of relevant WWW sites and a comprehensive suppliers list.
