Most researchers agree that biological confocal microscopy was jump-started by the confocal design first published by White and Amos in 1985 in the Journal of Cell Biology. As a result, this remains a relatively young field. Yet the use of the technique has grown phenomenally since those early efforts, with new users joining the ranks daily. The publication of Basic Confocal Microscopy reflects the burgeoning need to train new students, technologists, and faculty wishing to use confocal microscopy in their research. A direct outgrowth of the authors’ five-day intensive course in the subject begun in 2005, this book covers the basics and includes all the information required to design, implement, and interpret the results of, biological experiments based on confocal microscopy. Concise yet comprehensive, the volume begins by covering the core issues of fluorescence, specimen preparation and labeling, before moving on to address the analog-to-digital conversion of specimen data gathered using confocal microscopy. Subsequent chapters detail the practicalities of operating confocal microscopes, providing all the information necessary to begin practicing confocal microscopy as well as optimizing the material obtained. The final block of chapters examine 3-dimensional analysis and the reconstruction of data sets, outline some of the ethical considerations in confocal imaging, and then supply a number of resources that the authors have found useful in their own work. Once readers have mastered the information this book presents, the resources found in its pages will be an excellent guide to continued learning about the more advanced forms of confocal microscopy.
Dr. W. Gray (Jay) Jerome is an Associate Professor of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He has published extensively on microscopy of biological material. His work involves correlating microscopic structural information with biochemical, physiological, and molecular genetic data to provide a comprehensive picture of structure-function relationships. Dr. Jerome is a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow of the American Heart Association and a Past-President of the Microscopy Society of America.
Dr. Robert L. Price is a Research Professor in Cell Biology and Anatomy at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and Director of the Instrumentation Resource Facility. He has been active in biomedical imaging using confocal microscopy since 1990 and along with Dr. Jerome has taught numerous Confocal Workshops in the United States and Australia. Dr. Price has received several awards from the University of South Carolina and the Microscopy Society of America, is a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America, and currently President of the Microscopy Society of America.
