Springer Reviews in Fluorescence 2010

Reviews in Fluorescence 2010 is as a comprehensive collection of current trends and emerging hot topics in the field of fluorescence spectroscopy. It summarizes the year’s progress in fluorescence and its applications, with authoritative analytical reviews. From the Back Cover Reviews in Fluorescence 2010, the seventh volume of the book serial from Springer, serves as a comprehensive collection of current trends and emerging hot topics in the field of fluorescence and closely related disciplines. It summarizes the year’s progress in fluorescence and its applications, with authoritative analytical reviews specialized enough to be attractive to professional researchers, yet also appealing to the wider audience of scientists in related disciplines of fluorescence. Reviews in Fluorescence offers an essential reference material for any lab working in the fluorescence field and related areas. All academics, bench scientists, and industry professionals wishing to take advantage of the latest and greatest in the continuously emerging field of fluorescence will find it an invaluable resource.  Key features: • Accessible utility in a single volume reference. • Chapters authored by known leading figures in the fluorescence field. • New volume publishes annually. • Comprehensive coverage of the year's hottest and emerging topics. Reviews in Fluorescence 2010 topics include: • Novel Metal-based Luminophores for Biological Imaging. • Hydration Dynamics of Probes and Peptides in Captivity. • How does tobacco etch viral mRNA get translated? A fluorescence study of competition, stability and kinetics. • Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Its Applications in Clinical Analysis and Food Safety Evaluation. • Quantitative molecular imaging in living cells via FLIM. • A Multiparametric Imaging of Cellular Coenzymes for Monitoring Metabolic and Mitochondrial Activities. • Optimal Conditions for Live Cell Microscopy and Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS). About the Author Dr. Chris D. Geddes, Ph.D., Professor, has extensive experience in fluorescence spectroscopy, particularly in fluorescence sensing and metal-fluorophore interactions (Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence), publishing over 200 papers and 18 books. Dr Geddes is internationally known in fluorescence for his scholarly publications and for the development of fluorescence-based plasmonics. He is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Fluorescence and founding editor of the Who’s Who in Fluorescence and Annual Reviews in Fluorescence volumes. In addition, due to the labs pioneering efforts in the fields of metallic nanoparticle-fluorophore interactions, Dr Geddes launched the Springer Journal "Plasmonics" in 2005. Dr Geddes is Director of the Institute of Fluorescence at the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute which focuses on the nano-bio-technological applications of fluorescence. Dr Geddes frequently chairs NIH study sections, is a frequent member of the NIBIB special emphasis sensing panels and is currently a permanent member of the NIH EBT study section.
