The Optics of Life : A Biologist's Guide to Light in Nature /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

Optics--a field of physics focusing on the study of light--is also central to many areas of biology, including vision, ecology, botany, animal behavior, neurobiology, and molecular biology. The Optics of Life introduces the fundamentals of optics to biologists and nonphysicists, giving them the tool...
