Optics in Instruments: Applications in Biology and Medicine

This book follows and complements a previous Optics in Instruments volume that provided the necessary knowledge to implement instruments with optical components. In this volume, you will find a discussion of some of the most commonly used instruments, systems, and optical techniques in biology and medicine, along with current developments and applications. This volume examines a wide range of topics essential to the understanding of optical equipment in modern instrumentation, as well as the main light sources, image analysis, and examples from modern industrial systems, devices, and microscopy.

Keywords: Optical Communications, Optics in Instruments, Geometrical Optics, Photometry, Colorimetry, Color Perception, Color Evaluation, Image Analysis, Image Classification, Phase Microscope, Tunneling Microscope, Near Field Microscope
