Springer, 2011. - 363 p. - The key element of any fluorescence
sensing or imaging technology is the fluorescence reporter, which
transforms the information on molecular interactions and dynamics
into measurable signals of fluorescence emission. This book,
written by a team of frontline researchers, demonstrates the broad
field of applications of fluorescence reporters, starting from
nanoscopic properties of materials, such as self-assembled thin
films, polymers and ionic liquids, through biological
macromolecules and further to living cell, tissue and body imaging.
Basic information on obtaining and interpreting experimental data
is presented and recent progress in these practically important
areas is highlighted. The book is addressed to a broad
interdisciplinary audience.
