About Principles Of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Microscopy
Product Description Although nuclear magnetic resonance is perhaps best known for its spectacular utility in medical tomography, its potential applicability to fields such as biology, materials science, and chemical physics is being increasingly recognized as laboratory NMR spectrometers are adapted to enable small scale imaging. This excellent introduction to the subject explores principles and common themes underlying two key variants of NMR microscopy, and provides many examples of their use. Methods discussed are not only important to fundamental biological and physical research, but have applications to a wide variety of industries, including those concerned with petrochemicals, polymers, biotechnology, food processing, and natural product processing. The wide range of scientists interested in NMR microscopy will want to own a copy of this book. Review "By any standards this book is not a 'good read' but a 'good buy' too, and it is clear that it is destined to become a classic of its kind. It is written by an outstandingly able practicing scientist who has incorporated into the text much of that balanced insight which can only be gained by direct experience of the experimental difficulties of the area; that that same scientist has also shared his own sense of excitement, further enhances what would anyway be a wonderful text. . . . Clearly destined to become an NMR classic. I recommend this text without reservation." -- The Times Higher Education Supplement "This book is a joy to read. . . . Clearly, all practitioners of NMR, either 'imaging' or 'spectroscopic,' will be enriched by this book. . . . It is not only the senior experts who will gain; any graduate student or postdoctoral fellow who has a serious commitment to NMR should consider purchasing a personal copy, since they will need to know the entire contents of this book." -- Proceedings RMS "The text is well-written and thoroughly referenced, with 751 literature citations. It is also well-illustrated with many figures and microscopy images, including four pages of full color images....the text will help bridge the physics gap between solution-state NMR and NMR microscopy. The text would be an excellent addition to the library of any scientist interested in modern NMR experiments. The book could be used very nicely as a text book in a graduate course on NMR microscopy. As the technique of NMR microscopy becomes more common, this book will be useful to an increasing number of a wide variety of scientists." -- Journal of Medicinal Chemistry "Excellent. Callaghan is a major contributor in the area of NMR microscopy. . . . he places the field in its historical context and and systematically develops the principles with keen insight. The result is a rigorous and indeed delightful treatment of NMR microscopy from introductory theory to the latest developments in techniques and instrumentation. It is hard to overemphasize the importance of this book to students and research scientists who are interested in NMR imaging, in NMR studies of diffusion and flow and, especially, in the issues where these areas overlap. There is simply nothing like it for this audience!" -- American Scientist "An excellent book....I expect that the book's largest audience will be researchers with some graduate training in physics, chemistry, or engineering....Well written and authoritative so that readers in other disciplines who do not have a strong mathematics background may still find it rewarding....I would recommend this book to anyone who has a sufficient physical science background to handle the fairly rigorous treatment of the material in the book. It is well written with an extensive bibiliography at the end of each chapter..." -- Journal of Magnetic Resonance About the Author Paul T. Callaghan is at Massey University, Palmerston North.
