ABOUT THIS ITEM From the Publisher
The aim of this work is to make available the most advanced and
current knowledge on the fabrication and use of micropipettes for
intracellular research. Many of the findings are,presented here for
the first time in book form. Focuses on theoretical (including how
glass micropipettes are formed) as well as practical techniques,
including extracellular work with relatively large micropipettes.
The capabilities and limitations of any given instrument, mode of
operating an instrument, or procedure are examined.
