This book introduces readers to the many techniques now available for imaging biological materials—crystallography, optical microscopy, and electron microscopy—at a level that will enable them to use them effectively to do research.
Since all of these experimental methods are best understood in terms of Fourier transformations, this book explains the relevant concepts from this branch of mathematics, and then illustrates their elegance and power by applying them to each of the techniques presented. Don't have an account?

English View all editions and formats Summary: Knowledge of the microscopic structure of biological systems is the key to understanding their physiological properties. Most of what we now know about this subject has been generated by techniques that produce images of the materials of interest, one way or another, and there is every reason to believe that the impact of these techniques on the biological sciences will be every bit as important in the future as they are today.
Thus the 21st century biologist needs to understand how microscopic imaging techniques work, as it is likely that sooner or later he or she will have to use one or anot.

Dr Ray and his colleagues have developed computer-based tools that have contributed fundamental new insights into the basic molecular determinants of function and disease. In fact, some of the visualisations produced by them have been featured in art exhibits around the world.
The group has received funding from the NSF to continue improving their encodings and visualisation tools, and NIH funding to apply these tools to several different biological questions. After all, having a map of the human genome is worthless unless you can do something helpful with it, like treat cancer. The IEEE — originally founded in with the rise of the electrical industry and telegraph — is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. But since everything runs on electricity now, membership today includes computer scientists, software developers, information technology professionals, physicists, medical doctors and many others.
In , the IEEE became interested in the science of biological data visualisation.
They invited Dr Ray, along with several other researchers working at this nascent interface of biology and data visualisation. They had the honour of being invited to develop and lead an international BioVis symposium. Since Dr Ray under his biophysics hat happened to be the most senior biological expert in this group, he developed a biological data analysis contest for the symposium.
Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Image Formation in the Electron Microscope. In he was named an Assistant Professor of Paediatrics at OSU, where he teaches graduate courses, as well as supervising the thesis research of PhD students and mentoring undergraduate and high school students. Imaging Techniques for the Structural Biologist. He is best known for his work on the three-dimensional structure of the ribosome, which he pursued using a wide variety of biophysical methods.
For five years Dr Ray was responsible both for the day-to-day operation of the contest, as well as for providing the biological expertise to train the computationalists so that they could better address the actual end-user needs. After all, any software program that a biologist can use in his laboratory should be easy enough for a biologist to actually use.
SAGE BioNetworks is a non-profit research organisation that works to develop predictors of disease and encourage research into health by facilitating open access to the scientific data and encouraging patient engagement in the research process. And as far as networking, Dr Ray has collaborated with essentially all of the other senior practitioners in the growing BioVis domain. He continues to work with the BioVis community, this year in the capacity of co-chair of the Posters track, and will be leading other aspects of their symposiums and workshops in the future, spreading the gospel of graphics.
Over the years, Dr Ray has had his fingers in a few scientific pies.
