Soft-Matter Characterization is written by Redouane Borsali and published by Springer Science & Business Media. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 140204464X (ISBN 10) and 9781402044649 (ISBN 13).

This 2-volume set includes extensive discussions of scattering techniques (light, neutron and X-ray) and related fluctuation and grating techniques that are at the forefront of this field. Most of the scattering techniques are Fourier space techniques. Recent advances have seen the development of powerful direct imaging methods such as atomic force microscopy and scanning probe microscopy. In addition, techniques that can be used to manipulate soft matter on the nanometer scale are also in rapid development. These include the scanning probe microscopy technique mentioned above as well as optical and magnetic tweezers.
