The Application of Laser Light Scattering to the Study of Biological Motion

Several previous Advanced Study Institutes have concentrated on the techniques of light scattering, while the biological appli­ cations were not fully explored. Many of the techniques are now standardised and are being applied to a wide range of biologically significant problems both in vivo and in...
