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 another of them, or will otherwise become dependent on
the information that they provide. The objective of this textbook
is to introduce its readers to the many techniques now available
for imaging biological materials, e.g. 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. The
book is derived from a one-term course in structural biology that
the author gave for many years at Yale. It is intended for students
interested either in doing structural research themselves, or in
exploiting structural information produced by others. Over the
years, the course was taken successfully by advanced undergraduates
and by graduate students. Scientists interested in entering the
structural biology field later in their careers may also find it
useful.
