Thesynopsisofthebookisasfollows: Inthe'rstchapter, R. Malladi andJ. A.

OrtizdeSolorzano, R. Malladi, andS. J. Lockettdescribeabodyof workthatwasdoneoverthepastcoupleofyearsattheLawrenceBerkeley NationalLaboratoryonapplicationsoflevelsetmethodsinthestudyand understandingofconfocalmicroscopeimagery.
