Publisher's Synopsis
The field of fluorescence continues to grow steadily, both in its fundamental aspects and applications. It is a highly interdisciplinary area that includes analytical, physical and organic chemistry, molecular sciences, biology, biomedicine, and medical research. This fourth volume in the Springer Series on Fluorescence focuses on the fluorescence of nanosystems, polymers, and supermolecules and the development and application of fluorescent probes. Special emphasis is placed on the fluorescence of artificial and biological nanosystems, single molecule fluorescence, and the luminescence of polymers, micro and nanoparticles, and nanotubes. The book also covers fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. It is recommended for practitioners and researchers in organic, analytical and physical chemistry, materials science, molecular biology, biophysics, and biology.
