Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences, Vol. 3: Nanosystem Characterization Tools in the Life Sciences (Kumar, C.S.S.R.; 2006) [Book review]

This book presented several important characterization tools that are currently used in life science and in the process of development of biological applications. This text is written by more than 20 authors, with a wide range of expertise in characterization techniques. The authors assume that the readers are familiar with basic concepts and terminologies of engineering and biology. Each characterization tool is organized into a chapter, and the chapters are written at a level that this reviewer would suggest as a reference text for graduate students, researchers, and scientists who are interested in characterization techniques for the life science. The book covers very broad characterization tools and would be too intense for most undergraduates.
