About this book
This thesis offers a unique guide to the development and application of ultrasensitive optical microscopy based on light scattering. Divided into eight chapters, it covers an impressive range of scientific fields, from basic optical physics to molecular biology and synthetic organic chemistry. Especially the detailed information provided on how to design, build and implement an interferometric scattering microscope, as well as the descriptions of all instrumentation, hardware interfacing and image processing necessary to achieve the highest levels of performance, will be of interest to researchers now entering the field.

About the author
Jaime Ortega-Arroyo is currently a postdoctoral researcher in Romain Quidant’s plasmon nano-optics group at the ICFO (Institute of Photonic Sciences) in Barcelona, Spain. His current research focuses on combining ultrasensitive light microscopy with plasmon-assisted optofluidics. He received his BSc in Chemistry and Mathematics from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada in 2010, and his PhD in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Oxford, UK in 2015, under the guidance of Phillip Kukura.
