Main description:

The third edition of this established classic text reference builds upon the strengths of its very popular predecessors. Organized as a broadly useful textbook Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3rd edition maintains its emphasis on basics, while updating the examples to include recent results from the scientific literature. The third edition includes new chapters on single molecule detection, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, novel probes and radiative decay engineering. Includes a link to Springer Extras to download files reproducing all book artwork, for easy use in lecture slides. This is an essential volume for students, researchers, and industry professionals in biophysics, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, biology and medicine.

Feature:

Includes sets of problems following every chapter, glossaries of commonly used acronyms and mathematical symbols, appendices containing a list of recommended books which expand on various specialized topics

CD-ROM containing reproductions of the all book artwork, for easy use in slides and instructions (will be watermarked to avoid duplication)

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)

Will feature 4/color throughout and is authored by a respected scientist of international reputation

Back cover:

Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3^rd edition

Joseph R. Lakowicz

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
• Includes CD-ROM of all figures in a low-res format, perfect for use in instruction and presentations

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.
