Video microscopy is used extensively in many life and biomedical science disciplines today, and is a useful tool for both cell biologists and students. This book presents how to track the dynamic changes that take place in the structure of living cells and in reconstituted preparations using video and digital imaging microscopy. Basic information, principles, and applications are also covered, as well as more specialized video microscopy techniques.

Chapters cover the commonly used video technologies in biological research
Nontechnical presentation of principles
Emphasis on the practical aspects of instrument use
Covers pitfalls in instrument uses that can lead to artifacts
Authors are leaders in the design and application of video methods to biological microscopy
Presentation of material tailored for the established researcher that has little experience with video methods
Examples are extensively illustrated with photographs

From the Back Cover

Video Microscopy instructs researchers in the principles and practice of video microscopy for a wide variety of research applications. Because video microscopy involves an integrated package of sophisticated instruments that must be coordinately optimized, the knowledgeable use of these instruments is essential to the acquisition and display of specimen information. Articles by leaders in the design and application of video methods for biological microscopy cover the full range of commonly used video technologies. The basics of each component or technology are presented in a nontechnical fashion and emphasize practical information that allows the reader to avoid common mistakes that lead to artifacts.This volume is an essential guide for students and scientists in cell biology, developmental biology, neuroscience, and other areas of biological and biomedical research. This book is also a useful supplement for light microscopy courses as well as a resource for research directors and the technical staff of imaging facilities.@introbul:Key Features:@bul:* Chapters cover the commonly used video technologies in biological research* Nontechnical presentation of principles* Emphasis on the practical aspects of instrument use* Covers pitfalls in instrument uses that can lead to artifacts* Authors are leaders in the design and application of video methods to biological microscopy* Presentation of material tailored for the established researcher that has little experience with video methods* Examples are extensively illustrated with photographs
