Life Science in Tools & Techniques  (English, Paperback, Bisen P.S.)

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.
