Prerequisites

knowledge on optics and mathematics, both at the secondary school level

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is offered to students of any study field.

Course objectives

The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list basic techniques of optical microscopy, imaging and explain the physical principles of these techniques
- apply the correct technique for a particular sample and examine this choice in terms of the obtained image contrast,
all for the micro structured samples in biology, medicine, mineralogy, metallurgy, material sciences etc.

Learning outcomes

Student will be able:
- understand the principles of basic optical devices;
- form a scheme of a given optical apparatus and to determine the actual path of light after the pass through;
- to list and understand the basic techniques of optical contrast in microscopes;
- to list some types of modern microscopes;

Teaching methods

Integral part of this course is the excersize, which will be also following the lecture and during which the topics from the lectures are worked through. The content of the excersize is formed by examples of the basic ray construction for the selected imaging aparatuses and/or methods.

Assessment methods

For successful completition of the course, passing the final written test is necessary. Unless stated otherwise, 80% attendance at the exercises is mandatory.
