Life Science In Tools & Techniques (Paperback, P S Bisen,  Ravi Malik)

With the advent of molecular biology studies in biological sciences have become increasingly dependent upon the use of new and emerging techniques which are essentially based on well-known principles of physical sciences. Students of biology usually find it difficult to grasp the basic principles of these techniques owing to their mathematical bias. The book attempts to present a non-mathematical account of the underlying principles of a variety of experimental techniques including electron microscopy spectroscopy ultracentrifugation etc. and should be useful to all students of biology at graduate andpostgraduate levels.
