Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy

by Joseph R. Lakowicz

The third edition of this established classic text reference builds upon the strengths of its very popular predecessors. Organized as a broadly useful textbook Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3rd edition maintains its emphasis on basics, while updating the examples to include recent results from the scientific literature. The third edition includes new chapters on single molecule detection, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, novel probes and radiative decay engineering. Includes a link to Springer Extras to download files reproducing all book artwork, for easy use in lecture slides. This is an essential volume for students, researchers, and industry professionals in biophysics, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, biology and medicine.

[Alan McLean]

This is a canonical textbook, and useful for starting chemical spectroscopy (excitation spectra, emission spectra, lifetimes, etc.), but in the modern day, relying on this text is not nearly enough to make a big impact in the research scene (also it lacks rigor). (I'd suggest using this as a reference, but focusing more-so on specialized texts).

[Joe Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent book, as all useful reference books should be, like those of the old times: well written with a unique logic line, uniform notations and plots. Among others, quite low price for the quality of paper and number of pages. I would even say that this is a very good introductory book: it worked well with me, an EE.
