Editorial Reviews

It manages to stand out from most compiled texts consisting of contributions from many different authors by having instrumentation as the cohesive thread connecting the chapters. …The editors indicated a desire to “give thorough experimental detail, and not just to document recent instrumentation advances”. They have largely succeeded in this endeavor, with several of the contributions providing detailed descriptions of instrumentation and the specific requirements of operation…the choice of topics and contributors does justice to recent advances in the area, with most of the contributions focusing on emerging methods within the past decade.”
—Garth J. Simpson, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 128, No. 36, 2006
