✦ Synopsis

Within the last 3 months, my colleagues and I have had published a general review chapter on confocal microscopy in Volume 114 of this very series. The volume, entitled Calcium Signaling Protocols, also contained a further chapter describing more specific applications of confocal laser scanning microscopy to calcium measurement. I was therefore just a little surprised to have Volume 122 land on my desk for review! However, this is a very active research field and there is much to be gleaned from the hard-won experience of colleagues. Also, some of the key laboratories in the field were to be seen amongst the list of addresses of the contributors and the list of 46 authors included some very eminent scientists. So it was an ambivalent rather than independent reviewer who set out to review the volume.
