CRC Press Books on Image Processing

Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear Listserv,

I am wondering if anyone here has read through, or has in their possession copies of the following texts:

Introduction to Image Processing and Analysis. John Russ. CRC Press

The Image Processing Handbook. Fifth Edition. John Russ. CRC Press

Blind Image Deconvolution: Theory and Applications. Patrizio Campisi and Karen Egiazarian. CRC Press

Digital Color Imaging Handbook. Gaurav Sharma. CRC Press

We have some credits through a recent promotion from one of our suppliers to receive some materials from CRC Press and these titles were of interest to me. Any recommendations would be appreciated and can be sent to me directly.

Thanks,

Fred

Fred,

 

I have the third edition of Dr. Russ’ Image Processing Handbook and I highly recommend it.  I’m not an engineer, yet I find the text to be very readable and the illustrations are very well done.

 

Dr. Russ also wrote a very nice series of articles for the RMS entitled “Seeing the Scientific Image” that I often recommend to people.  John hosts a copy on his website at:  http://www.drjohnruss.com/downloads/seeing.pdf

 

No financial interest.

Hello,
          Can anyone educate me on the choice of Poly-L-Lysine vs
Poly-D-Lysine for coating glass slides for cell culture. I can
understand where we need fibronectin/collagen etc,
but have been unable to find a good source on coating and cell culture.

Thanks,

-Prabhakar

L-lysine is the natural form of the amino acide. So poly-L-lysine can be
recognized by some protease secreted in the media, wherease
poly-D-lysine would be resistant. Therefore, in theory, poly-D-lysine
should last longer in culture.

I always assumed that poly-L-lysine was used primarily because it would
not be hydrolyzed by  proteinases and peptidases (e.g. trypsin) that are
generally specific for naturally occurring D- amino acids.

"Why are the dishes coated with poly-d-lysine (instead of
poly-l-lysine)?

Both untreated glass and cells are negatively charged. Poly-lysine is
applied to the glass surface to make it positively charged, thereby
increasing electrostatic attraction between the glass surface and the
cells and thus favoring cell attachment. Poly-d-lysine is favored
because the d-enantiomer is less prone to protease-mediated breakdown
than the naturally-occurring l-enantiomer. Otherwise, Poly-d-Lysine and
Poly-l-Lysine are equivalent."

Also - when used in an experiment comparing cells plated on ECM like  
fibronectin or collagen to which they adhere using integrins, the  
adhesion of cells to poly-l-lysine is an index of non-integrin  
dependent adhesion.

Is a polymer available with a 50/50 mixture of L and D lysine?
Presumably having charges on alternate sides of the peptide, it might
possess a more favorable spatial pattern of charges compared to the
homo polymer. Just a wild speculation.

OMG!  I can't believe I wrote this:

"I always assumed that poly-L-lysine was used primarily because it would

Obviously it is wrong.  Sorry!
