From the reviews:“The book is divided into 4 parts, each containing several chapters pertaining to a given field. … chapters are largely composed of detailed protocols describing a specific experimental procedure. Figures are mostly clear, and the tables and index are helpful. … I highly recommend this book to academic radiologists, imaging scientists, and molecular biologists.” (E. Edmund Kim, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 54 (5), May, 2013)“The present volume … contains 28 protocols in diverse types of microscopy enabling scientists to obtain images of isolated molecular complexes, cells and tissues at nanoscale spatial resolution … . Each chapter has a standard structure … a clear style and useful illustrations. … this book should be read not only by very specialized scientists, but also by those who usually work with (very) classic microscopic methods, to open their minds and increase their appetite for more precise and complex measurements done on complex structures.” (Ioan I. Ardelean, Romanian Biochemical Journals, Vol. 50 (2), 2013)
