In three sections, this book discusses high-aperture optical systems, nonlinear optical techniques, and various techniques that are finding new applications. The new second edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to account for new advances in fluorescence imaging and diffractive optical lenses. This text on contemporary optical systems is intended for optical researchers and engineers, graduate students and optical microscopists in the biological and biomedical sciences. It represents a unique compilation of valuable and novel scientific work that is scarcely to be found elsewhere. The contributing authors are acknowledged leaders of their respective fields.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The editors have selected a well known group of contributors who have written a straightforward ... book. The well-illustrated volume is organized in three parts ... . I found the descriptions of the theory and the details of the instrumentation very helpful. Important references are included, as in an index. I highly recommend this book for an audience of scientists, engineers, graduate students and optical microscopists." (Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News, Vol. 15 (12), December, 2004)

"This book is collecting for the first time contributions from imaging related subjects that were not previously published in this form or they are difficult to access. ... This text on contemporary optical systems is intended for optical researchers and engineers, graduate students and optical microscopists in the biological and biomedical sciences." (D. Weder, Optik, Vol. 115 (10), 2004)

"The book presents a rather eclectic collection of optical techniques. ... the audience for this book will be graduate-level physics students or physical science researchers seeking to learn more about a specific technique." (DeVon W. Griffin, The Industrial Physicist, October, 2004)
