Optogenetics : Light-Driven Actuators and Light-emitting Sensors in Cell Biology

Optogenetic tools have allowed significant advances in the understanding of biological problems, particularly in the neurosciences field. Biological tools as well as optical set-ups have evolved and a wide range of probes is now available. This book provides a comprehensive overview of optogenetic tools and their more recently growing application in areas of cell biology outside of the neurosciences. With detailed information on different illumination and data analysis methods, this will be a valuable manual for photobiologists, cell biologists, biophysicists and those involved in biological imaging.
