Wiley-VCH 2006 596 pages $165.00 Hardcover R857 Biophotonics, as the reader might have already guessed, deals with the interaction between light and biological systems. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Popp (chemistry, U. of Wurzburg, Germany) and Strehle (PhD, U. of Wurzburg, Germany), the advantage of applying light to the study of biological matter is that light allows processes taking place within a living cell to be studied more quickly and precisely without affecting the biological activity. In this volume, they present 11 chapters describing applications of biophotonics relevant to improving healthcare processes and technologies. Topics covered include online monitoring of airborne allergenic Allergenic A substance capable of causing an allergic reaction. Mentioned in: Echinococcosis particles, online monitoring and identification of bioaerosol, novel singly labeled probes for life science applications, early diagnosis of cancer, new methods for marker-free live cell and tumor tumor: see neoplasm. analysis, regenerative re·gen·er·a·tive adj. 1. Of, relating to, or marked by regeneration. 2. Tending to regenerate. re·gen surgery, microarray See micro array. microarray - A technique for performing many DNA experiments in parallel.
