| Research Seminar: Tissue Optics and Microscopy | |
| Vorlesungssprache | Englisch |
| Inhalt der Lehrveranstaltung: | Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, we are discussing recent approaches to the problem of image formation in biological tissues. This is of relevance not only in the eye, where photons need to travel through the thick neural tissue of the retina prior to the detection by the photoreceptor cells. The question of image formation in tissues currently also becomes the bottleneck in microscopy of living tissues and organisms: here, optical accessibility is largely determined by the optical properties of tissues. Throughout this seminar we will review literature addressing the cell-biological origin of light scattering in tissues, the physical problem of wave propagation in complex biological media, and the question how to reconstruct refractive index distributions of tissues using interference microscopy data. Also the course will cover recent strategies of how to use adaptive optics in microscopy in order to compensate for tissue-induced aberrations. |
