Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: Mathematical models and biophysical problems in optical imaging: Analyses of Single Molecules Times: Monday 14:15-15:45, Place: IMB, Ackermannweg 4, Meeting room 1.624 The course will be available through video conferencing at KIP, Uni Heidelberg Lecturer: Dr. Udo Birk Teaching language will be English, unless otherwise specified. This course will be taught at the post-baccalaureate level. A good working knowledge in electromagnetics/optics and in digital image processing should be very helpful. This could be obtained in our other courses on Applied 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 modelling and biophysics in biomedical imaging, i.e. optical and biomechanical problems in solid state biophysics will be discussed. Discussions will be stimulated and augmented 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 analyses of single molecules, i.e. in the presence of factors deteriorating the image quality from the ideal, mathematical point-image. For example, the interaction of light and tissue, and also 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.
