Richard Publisher: Academic Press Print ISBN: 9780123706478, 0123706475 eText ISBN: 9780123706478, 9780080475035, 0080475035 Pages: 880 Format: PDF Available from $ 170.00 USD SKU 9780123706478 Recent advances in the imaging technique electron microscopy (EM) have improved the method, making it more reliable and rewarding, particularly in its description of three-dimensional detail. This book will help biologists from many disciplines understand modern EM and the value it might bring to their own work. The book’s five sections deal with all major issues in EM of cells: specimen preparation, imaging in 3-D, imaging and understanding frozen-hydrated samples, labeling macromolecules, and analyzing EM data. Each chapter was written by scientists who are among the best in their field, and some chapters provide multiple points of view on the issues they discuss. Each section of the book is preceded by an introduction, which should help newcomers understand the subject. The book shows why many biologists believe that modern EM will forge the link between light microscopy of live cells and atomic resolution studies of isolated macromolecules, helping us toward the goal of an atomic resolution understanding of living systems. * Updates the numerous technological innovations that have improved the capabilities of electron microscopy * Provides timely coverage of the subject given the significant rise in the number of biologists using light microscopy to answer their questions and the natural limitations of this kind of imaging * Chapters include a balance of how to, so what and where next, providing the reader with both practical information, which is necessary to use these methods, and a sense of where the field is going
