Bioinstrumentation

• Equips readers with the necessary background in electric circuits.
• Statistical coverage shows how to determine trial sizes.

KEEP UP WITH CURRENT MEASUREMENT METHODS IN THE MEDICAL, MOLECULAR AND BIOTECHNOLOGY FIELDS!

Whether you’re interested in instrumentation for hospitals or for exciting new fields such as molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering, John Webster’s BIOINSTRUMENTATION will help you keep up with current measurement methods and techniques. The text begins with the basics of instrumentation systems and statistics, covers the necessary electronics, and then builds up from measurements on molecular and cells to measurements on organs and the body, Webster provides the most authoritative reference on the subject today.

Key Features:

• Covers measurements in new fields such as molecular biology, cellular biology, and tissue engineering, as well as measurements on organs and the body.

• Includes a separate chapter on the basic concepts of electronics.

• Statistical coverage prepares you for determining trial size.

• Coverage of microscopy provides the background you need to understand topics such as tissue engineering.

• Each chapter includes homework problems and references for further study.

• Web site contains extensive laboratory instructions, examination and quiz questions, and PowerPoint Slides of figures.
