Course objectives
The optical microscopy is always belonging to the important experimental methods of observing microscopy structure in samples as in biology as in medicine, mineralogy, metalurgy etc. The interpretation of imaging contrast needs understanding of basic principles of optical imaging, mainly connected with modern imaging methods for instance dark field method, polarization and interference contrast or methods of optical scanning and tomography.
