The Axon Guide
For Electrophysiology & Biophysics: laboratory TechniquesThe Axon Guide for Electrophysiology & Biophysics is a practical laboratory guide covering a broad range of topics, from the biological basis of bioelectricity and a description of the basic experimental setup, to the principles of operation of the most advanced hardware and software currently available. The Axon Guide has been a huge hit since its release many years ago, but unfortunately it is out of print. If you don't already have your copy, the Axon Guide is now available for download in PDF format. This is a complete copy of the original Axon Guide, so some items are out-of-date, in particular the computer and software information.
