A richly illustrated undergraduate textbook on the physics and
biology of light Students in the physical and life sciences, and in
engineering, need to know about the physics and biology of light.
Recently, it has become increasingly clear that an understanding of
the quantum nature of light is essential, both for the latest
imaging technologies and to advance our knowledge of fundamental
life processes, such as photosynthesis and human vision. From
Photon to Neuron provides undergraduates with an accessible
introduction to the physics of light and offers a unified view of a
broad range of optical and biological phenomena. Along the way,
this richly illustrated textbook builds the necessary background in
neuroscience, photochemistry, and other disciplines, with
applications to optogenetics, superresolution microscopy, the
single-photon response of individual photoreceptor cells, and more.
With its integrated approach, From Photon to Neuron can be used as
the basis for interdisciplinary courses in physics, biophysics,
sensory neuroscience, biophotonics, bioengineering, or
nanotechnology. The goal is always for students to gain the fluency
needed to derive every result for themselves, so the book includes
a wealth of exercises, including many that guide students to create
computer-based solutions. Supplementary online materials include
real experimental data to use with the exercises. * Assumes
familiarity with first-year undergraduate physics and the
corresponding math * Overlaps the goals of the MCAT, which now
includes data-based and statistical reasoning * Advanced chapters
and sections also make the book suitable for graduate courses * An
Instructor's Guide and illustration package is available to
professors
