Thermal lens spectrometry

This book describes the techniques and instrumentation of thermal lens spectrometry. Also, includes parameters affecting thermal lens phenomenon, noise and source of errors, advantages and disadvantages. By combining TLS with a microscope, thermal lens microscope is developed for sensitive detection in microspace. The detection limit is about single molecules in a very small volume. One of the most important applications is the various analytical fields, such as immunoassay, environmental analysis, and single-cell analysis on microchips.
