| * The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course will
provide students with a comprehensive overview of optical microscopy and various
imaging technologies, including the latest advances. The course will start with
basic concepts in optics, explaining how light-matter interactions generate contrast
for imaging, and cover practical basics in optical microscopy. The course will then cover various
optical microscopy modalities: widefield, structured illumination, confocal,
multiphoton, and light sheet microscopies. The course will also introduce other
advanced imaging techniques, including adaptive optics, label-free microscopy,
and super-resolution imaging methods. In addition, the course will introduce
recent advances in how artificial intelligence (AI) is applied in optical
imaging. Upon completion of this course, students will become familiar with all
the available options and develop the ability to choose the right tool for
their future studies. | ||||||||||
