- Students are expected to have theoretical knowledge as from "Applied optics" course.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Course objectives
- The course provides an overview of modern experimental techniques used to determine structure, function and dynamics of macro and micro biological samples by means of electromagnetic radiation. Attention will be focused on non-invasive methods used for detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, including methods used in ophthalmology and optometry.
- Learning outcomes
- Deeper theoretical and chiefly practical knowledge of some modern techniques that use electromagnetic radiation to study structure, function and dynamics of biological samples and methods used to detect, diagnose and treat diseases.
- Syllabus
- 1. Diffraction by a grating. Measurement of spectra of different light sources using a spectrometer. Measurement of coherence length using an interferometer.
- 2. Diffraction of a laser beam on 2D objects (apertures in opaque screen), calculation of parameters of the apertures from the diffraction image.
- 3. LIBS and tomograph.
- 4. Application of laser scalpel - microdissection technique.
