"This multiauthored book... provides
theoretical and applied aspects of different established techniques
for the measurement of [Ca2+]i at submicromolar concentration.
Each chapter is organized, keeping in view the needs of a person
working in the laboratory, by giving the detailed methodology required for
the implementation of that particular technique, and all the chapters are well
referenced...The book provides a pragmatic approach for the estimation of cytosolic
[Ca2+]i and also provides a means for studying the spatial and temporal resolution
of [Ca2+]i. The book achieves the stated goal in the preface, 'this material
will be very useful to the investigator who wants to apply any of these methods
to his or her research."

Praise for the First Edition:
"...clearly written introductory text
and a useful reference volume for cell biologists. ...presents
a practical overview, introducing technical background and a range
of techniques in relatively nontechnical language. It thus represents
a tutorial approach, appropriate for those who would like to gain
rapid access to the sophisticated techniques of video microscopy."
—TRENDS IN CELL BIOLOGY
Flourescence Microscopy of Living Cells in Culture, Part B: Quantitaive
Flourescence Microscopy—Imaging and Spectroscopy,
Volume 30
"As with Volume 29, this book is clearly
written and well edited. Some chapters cover techniques with a
wide application in cell biology while others are more specialized.
The two volumes should be of interest to many biologists and will
make excellent reference books, being a useful addition to any
library."
—BIOTECHNOLOGY AND APPLIED BIOCHEMISTRY
"The editors are to be commended
for producing an excellent, informative reference work which will
be of great use to all who are either using these techniques,
or contemplating using them. All the contributors seem to have
done their best to help and inform rather than to dazzle and
intimidate. There are many hints and tips included that are not
present in the original papers... I can thoroughly recommend these
volumes to anyone who is interested in the problem of how to
view the complex processes that take place in a living cell directly."
—TIBS
"Many experts have contributed to these
volumes, which represent the first extensive overview of a rapidly
developing new field of research. Quite a number of new techniques
are investigated in depth by the contributors. The result is
an overview that will not be outdated soon... It is certainly
one of the merits of these volumes that they provide a nearly
complete overview of the scientific and technical know—how required.
One must congratulate the editors for having succeeded in convincing
so many distinquished experts to contribute. The books are well
printed with clear illustrations, and each volume has a good
index."
—AMERICAN SCIENTIST
Methods in Plant Cell Biology, Part A, Volume
49
"The main strength of this book is that
each contributor has taken great pains to provide a careful review
of the field. Consequently, it will be of considerable value to
novice and expert alike. The main body of each chapter provides
considerable detail on the protocols available presented in a clear
recipe style. Of equal importance is the provision of trouble—shooting
details and clear illustrations. This is a high—quality book available
at a price which is well within the reach of most researchers,
including post—graduate students. Anyone interested in this fascinating
subject should certainly consult this book."

are successfully used by both experienced researchers and students...
The traditionally well—edited text is supplemented with a detailed
subject index."
—Z. Sestak in PHOTOSYNTHETICA
"The present volume competes
will in terms of scope and the quality of the individual contribution,
many of which contain lengthy introductions as well as detailed
methods. In addition, the quality of production is well up to the

handbook is highly recommended and will be essential for researchers
investigating all aspects of the nucleus, from the biochemistry
of specific processes through to nuclear architecture. It will
also be very helpful to all those who want to use some of these
techniques as part of their research, perhaps to investigate the
function of a particular gene product or the control of its expression."
—TIBS
Video Microscopy, Volume 56
"The contributors are experts in the field...
The number and quality of illustrations, of all types, are excellent.
This is to be expected of a book in this series... This is an excellent
guide for scientists who wish to set up a modern video microscopy
facility in their laboratory. Individuals who plan to actually
have such a facility will want to own a copy of the book. It will
also be a valuable resource for a life science library."
—Alvin Telser, PhD, Northwestern University Medical School, for DOODY'S PUBLISHING
REVIEWS
"...there is much useful information in this volume that is not readily
found in the journal literature, such as detailed reviews of perfusion chambers,
discussions of microscope alignment, how to mate video cameras to microscopes,
and how to optimize camera and monitor adjustments. In fact, this is exactly
the type of "hands on" extremely useful information that
is provided in a good course. In short, this volume edited by Sluder
and Wolf provides very useful information for the practicing video
microscopist."
