Quantitative Biomedical Optics: Theory, Methods, and Applications (Cambridge Texts in Biomedical Engineering)(Hardcover)

This is the textbook and reference resource that instructors, students, and researchers in biomedical optics have been waiting for. Comprehensive and up to date, it covers a broad range of areas in biomedical optics, from light interactions at the single-photon and single-biomolecule levels, to the diffusion regime of light propagation in tissue. Subjects covered include spectroscopic techniques (fluorescence, Raman, infrared, near-infrared, and elastic scattering), imaging techniques (diffuse optical tomography, photoacoustic imaging, several forms of modern microscopy, and optical coherence tomography), and laser-tissue interactions, including optical tweezers. Topics are developed from the fundamental principles of physical science, with intuitive explanations, while rigorous mathematical formalisms of theoretical treatments are also provided. For each technique, descriptions of relevant instrumentation and examples of biomedical applications are outlined, and each chapter benefits from references and suggested resources for further reading, and exercise problems with answers to selected problems.

這是教師、學生和生物醫學光學研究人員一直期待的教科書和參考資源。它全面而最新，涵蓋了生物醫學光學領域的廣泛範疇，從單光子和單生物分子層次的光相互作用，到組織中光傳播的擴散區域。涵蓋的主題包括光譜技術（螢光、拉曼、紅外、近紅外和彈性散射）、成像技術（擴散光學斷層掃描、光聲成像、多種現代顯微鏡和光學相干斷層掃描）以及激光與組織的相互作用，包括光學鉗。主題從物理科學的基本原理出發，提供直觀的解釋，同時也提供了嚴謹的理論處理的數學形式。對於每種技術，都提供了相關儀器的描述和生物醫學應用的示例，每章還有參考文獻和建議的進一步閱讀資源，以及帶有答案的練習問題。
