While histology remains the \"gold standard\" for pathologists, its interpretation remains highly subjective. Much of SHG research has focused on developing more quantitative, objective metrics. A tutorial for newcomers and an up-to-date review for experts, this book explores how SHG may be used to more precisely image a wide range of pathological conditions and diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45239917609111,"sku":"9780367379902","price":6032.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367379902.webp?v=1769223964","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/second-harmonic-generation-imaging-9780367379902","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
