Both volumes of this book cover comprehensive reviews about innovations in the context of microscopy today. Each contribution presents a form of microscopy or occasionally a microscopic technique, and provides information about the instruments involved and their areas of application to guide the reader's decision which instrument or technique is best suited for retrieving information.
