This book provides a unique selection of essays by leading experts who address all aspects of modern imaging, from its application and up-scaling to its development. Coverage ranges from the basic through to complex overview of method and protocols and also offers practical and detailed "how-to" content on important, but rarely addressed topics. The book features all-color-plate chapters and a unique continuously updated website forum where contributors and readers can share software utilities, including a limited license version of the imaging platform management software "PPMS" version 1.0 release, plus relevant new publications and links to other important resources.
