Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: Times: Tuesday 15:45 - 17:15, Place: IMB Mainz, Ackermannweg 4, Seminar room 2nd floor Seminar will be available through video conferencing at KIP, Uni Heidelberg Lecturers: Dr. Udo Birk, Prof. Dr. Christoph Cremer Teaching language will be English, unless otherwise specified. This course will be taught at the post-baccalaureate level. A basic knowledge in electromagnetics/optics and in digital image processing could be very helpful. This could be obtained in the course on Basics of Biomedical Optics (see our Teaching Webpage at www.optics.imb-mainz.de).
Inhalt: In this seminar, some of the apparently obvious but on closer look not so trivial questions related to optical imaging, i.e. the use of light as a contrast mechanism as well as for detection on a light detector will be discussed. Discussions will be stimulated and amended by regular presentations of recent research papers. Students actively participating will give a presentation focusing on one of the particular problems encountered in "real" optical imaging, i.e. in the presence of factors deteriorating the image quality from the ideal "theoretical" image. For example, the influence of noise on quantitative imaging, of motion, of fluctuating light output etc. will be discussed. Since the aim of optical imaging is (at least in a physics environment) to obtain quantitative data, problems related to image quantization and image digitization (pixelated digital images), as well as to image processing are a further important focus of this seminar. These general topics will be amended by more specialized presentations on problems related to fluorescence imaging such as e.g. photophysics of fluorophores, and to superresolution microscopy. Aim of this seminar is to provide the students with the opportunity to prepare for oral examinations by providing a discussion forum for state-of-the art optical imaging methods. At the same time, topics of the seminar presentations will illustrate the enormous potential that photonics and in particular optical imaging has for your future career.
