An account of a three-year research program funded by the German government, in which physicists and physical chemists set off together with biologists and physicians to develop new techniques for medical and biological problems and ended up with sophisticated scientific solutions and innovative equipment, partly ready for the market. It not only includes a concise description of the new discoveries but also offers also an introduction to the various fields within optics.

Der Mensch hat gelernt, Licht zu kontrollieren, in dem er beobachtete, wie Materie und Licht in der natürlichen Welt sich gegenseitig beeinflussen und verändern. Die neue Disziplin der Biophotonik setzt Licht als vielseitiges Werkzeug ein, um biologische Vorgänge verstehen zu lernen, Krankheiten besser diagnostizieren und heilen zu können. Mit Licht kann man berührungslos messen und Lebensvorgänge im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ''live'' beobachten. Mit Licht kann man aber auch gezielt eingreifen: Pinzetten aus Laserstrahlen halten einzelne Zellen und setzen sie zu künstlichen Geweben zusammen,. Licht kann zudem Schneiden, Bohren, Kleben oder als Katapult dienen. Das Buch gibt kurze Einführungen in die Physik und Chemie des Lichtes und die Grundlagen der Zell- und Molekularbiologie und erzählt die ebenso spannende wie erfolgreiche Geschichte der Zusammenarbeit der beiden Disziplinen im Dienste der Gesundheit des Menschen. Unter dem Motto "Light meets Life Science" eröffnen Biophotoniker im 21. Jahrhundert der Infektionsbiologie, der Krebsforschung und der Gewebezucht völlig neue Möglichkeiten.

The result of a unique collaboration between clinicians, chemists and physicists, this book provides an unparalleled overview of a new generation of diagnostic tools in clinical pathology. The introductory chapters cover the present status and limitations of currently used methods, followed by an outline of promising novel spectroscopy-based technologies either under development or recently available on the market. The input from both technologists developing these new methods as well as routine clinicians familiar with practical aspects and medical relevance guarantees that this practical work is a valuable asset for a wide audience, including technical personnel and decision makers in treatment centers, experts working in companies developing diagnostic devices, and clinicians specializing in advanced diagnostic methods. Since basic researchers are increasingly adopting novel diagnostic tools developed for human use as well, this will also be of interest for biomedical research institutions with large animal facilities.

This outstanding overview sets a new standard for a methods book on pathogen detection. The first chapter provides an outline of currently used routine methods, including their background, strengths and weaknesses, as well as comparing them to newer methods. The following chapters then cover novel methods already in wide use and which are still more experimental for routine purposes. An invaluable resource for all medical laboratories and clinical institutions dealing with infectious diseases.

Uniquely creates a strong bridge between molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemistry This two-volume book consists of many reviews reporting new applications of quantum chemistry to molecular spectroscopy (Raman, infrared, near-infrared, terahertz, far-ultraviolet, etc.). It contains brief introductions to quantum chemistry for spectroscopists, and to the recent progress on molecular spectroscopy for quantum chemists. Molecular Spectroscopy: A Quantum Chemistry Approach examines the recent progress made in the field of molecular spectroscopy; the state of the art of quantum chemistry for molecular spectroscopy; and more. It offers multiple chapters covering the application of quantum chemistry to: visible absorption and fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, near-infrared spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, and far-ultraviolet spectroscopy. It presents readers with hydrogen bonding studies by vibrational spectroscopy and quantum chemistry, as well as vibrational spectroscopy and quantum chemistry studies on both biological systems and nano science. The book also looks at vibrational anharmonicity and overtones, and nonlinear and time-resolved spectroscopy. -Comprehensively covers existing and recent applications of quantum chemistry to molecular spectroscopy -Introduces the quantum chemistry for the field of spectroscopy and the advancements being made on molecular spectroscopy for quantum chemistry -Edited by world leading experts who have long standing, extensive experience and international standing in the field Molecular Spectroscopy: A Quantum Chemistry Approach is an ideal book for analytical chemists, theoretical chemists, chemists, biochemists, materials scientists, biologists, and physicists interested in the subject.
