Contents:
ch. 1. Introduction : toolbox at the phsyical-life science interface -- ch. 2. Orientation for the bio-curious : the basics of biology for the phsyical scientist -- ch. 3. Making light work in biology : basic, foundational detection and imaging techniques involving ultraviolet, visible, and infrared electromagnetic radiation interactions with biological matter -- ch. 4. Making light work harder in biology : advanced, frontier UV-VIS-IR spectroscopy and microscopy for detection and imaging -- ch. 5. Detection and imaging tools that use non-optical waves : radio and microwaves, gamma and x-rays, and various high-energy particle techinques -- ch. 6. Forces : methods that measure and/or manipulate biological forces or use forces in their principle mode of operation on biological matter -- ch. 7. Complementary experimental tools : valuable experimental methods that complement mainstream research biophysics techniques -- ch. 8. Theoretical biophysics : computational biophysical tools, and methods that require a pencil and paper -- ch. 9. Emerging biophysics techniques : an outlook of the future landscape of biophysics tools.
Summary: "This book concerns one, simple question: What is life? If only the answer were as simple! In this book you will find a comprehensive discussion of the experimental and theoretical tools and techniques of biophysics which can be used to help us address that most innocuous of questions"-- Provided by publisher.
