This immensely practical guide to PIV provides a condensed, yet
exhaustive guide to most of the information needed for experiments
employing the technique. This second edition has updated chapters
on the principles and extra information on microscopic, high-speed
and three component measurements as well as a description of
advanced evaluation techniques. What's more, the huge increase in
the range of possible applications has been taken into account as
the chapter describing these applications of the PIV technique has
been expanded.
Less than twenty years ago photolithography and medicine were total
strangers to one another. They had not yet met, and not even
looking each other up in the classi?eds. And then, nucleic acid
chips, micro?uidics and microarrays entered the scene, and rapidly
these strangers became indispensable partners in biomedicine.

supported by very vigorous investments by the public and private
sectors throughout the world. Even joining the dots in a most
conservative, linear fashion, it is easy to envision scenarios of
personalized medicine such as the following: patient-speci?c
prevention supplanting gross, faceless intervention strategies;
early detection protocols identifying signs of developing disease
at the time when the disease is most easily subdued; personally
tailored intervention strategies that are so routinely and
inexpensively realized, that access to them can be secured by
everyone; technologies allowing for long lives in the company of
disease, as good neighbors, without impairment of the quality of
life itself.
