Beskrivning

Micro and Nano Systems for Biophysical Studies of Cells and Small Organisms provides a comprehensive introduction to the state-of-the-art micro and nano systems that have recently been developed and applied to biophysical studies of cells and small organisms. These micro and nano systems span from microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidic devices to robotic micro-nanomanipulation systems. These biophysical studies range from cell mechanics to the neural science of worms and Drosophila. This book will help readers understand the fundamentals surrounding the development of these tools and teach them the most recent advances in cellular and organismal biophysics enabled by these technologies.

Comprehensive coverage of micro and nano-system technology and application to biophysical studies of cells and small organisms.
Highlights the most recent advances in cellular and organismal biophysics enabled by micro and nano systems.
Insightful outlook on future directions and trends in each chapter covering a sub-area of the book topic.
