Here's a first-of-its-kind book that bridges the gap between biomedical imaging and the bioscience community. This unique resource gives you a detailed understanding of imaging platforms, fluorescence imaging, and fundamental image processing algorithms. Further, it guides you through application of advanced image analysis methods and techniques to specific biological problems. The book presents applications that span a wide range of scales, from the detection of signaling events in sub-cellular structures, to the automated analysis of tissue structures. Other critical areas discussed include the dynamics of cell populations and in vivo microscopy. This cutting-edge volume is supported with over 160 illustrations that support key topics throughout the book.
