"This well-illustrated book provides up-to-date light microscopy approaches and tool sets offered for live or fixed cell observations with a focus on system instrumentation parameters and sophisticated labeling and detection methods. ... authors hope that this book will prove to be a robust teaching guide for light microscopy practical courses. I echo the authors' opinion. ... an excellent book which may serve as a user manual on current light microscopy approaches and toolsets for live or fixed cell observations."
