 Abstract:             
              Focuses on the discovery components and the toxicological perspectives of nano-materials. This book deals with the basics of nano-imaging techniques required for diagnostics, the underlying principles using which the nanomedicine discoveries are made, nano-oncology, nano-hematology, and nano-inspired discovery of low cost diagnostic techniques.
