BIOENG 1383 - BIOMEDICAL OPTICAL MICROSCOPY


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Optical imaging microscopy techniques have become essential tools to investigate biological processes and diagnose diseases at unprecedented cellular and molecular levels. Biomedical researchers have an increasingly important need both to understand the advantages and limitations of the various types of optical microscopy and to apply the appropriate microscopy technique to solve specific biomedical problems. Biomedical optical microscopy is a comprehensive exploration of the basic principles of optical microscopy and imaging techniques commonly used in biomedical research. Upon completion of the course, the student should be conversant in the basic principles of common optical imaging microscopy techniques, able to apply an optical microscopy technique to address biological questions, and able to perform basic quantitative image analysis.
