From the reviews: "Excellent, invaluable and timely contributions, which serve very well to demonstrate the applicability of fluorescence to the field of glucose sensing and fluorescence-based monitoring technologies. ... this book addresses issues that researchers actually grapple with when they are working on a particular project or investigation in fluorescence-based monitoring technologies. ... The volume has the hallmarks of thoroughness and insights that can bring us researchers up to date with a map of the sensing and monitoring evaluation territory which new travelers also find invaluable."
