Kurzbeschreibung

This book demonstrates the applications of synchrotron radiation in certain aspects of cell microbiology, specifically non-destructive elemental analyses, chemical-state analyses and imaging (distribution) of the elements within a cell. The basics for understanding and applications of synchrotron radiation are also described to make the contents easier to be understood for a wide group of researchers in medical and biological sciences who might not be familiar with the physics of synchrotron radiation. The two main techniques that are discussed in this book are the x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and the x-ray fine structure analysis (XAFS). Application of these techniques in investigations of several important scientific fields, such as neurodegeneration and other diseases related to cell malfunctioning, are demonstrated in this book. TOC:Introduction.- Synchrotron Radiation and X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy.- X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy.- SR Microbeam Analysis at Cellular Level.- Investigation of Differentiation of Mouse ES Cells .- Investigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders (I).- Investigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders (II).- SR Analysis of Tissues.
