Students in natural sciences will be introduced in the functional principles of various types of light microscopy.Moreover they will be allowed to look at modern methods of image analysis and processing for a more efficient analysis of microscopical pictures.
Theory of light microscopy: Basics of geometrical and wave optics; resolution. Practical microscopy: Transmitted/reflected light microscopy; lateral measurements and counting methods; darkfield-, UV- and phase contrast microscopy; polarisation-, interference-, fluorescence microscopy; sample preparation; histochemistry.
Image analysis and processing: The students may work with new image analysis systems in module construction (SIS Analysis; ZEN); Extended Focal Imaging; Multiple Image Alignment; 3D-images; measurement of object structures; detection of particles; archiving pictures. Picture optmization by means of modern software (Adobe Photoshop, Irfan View, Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8).
