This volume provides insight into the principles underscoring various advanced microscopy methods and how they have been, or have the potential to be, applied to mycology. Offering a comprehensive overview of the confocal principle, confocal laser scanning microscopy and its application to fungal biology, this text also examines the newer sophisticated fluorescence-based methods of technology.
