The purpose of the course is to give the student

• knowledge of      fundamental physical principles and limitations of microscopic imaging,      with special emphasis on light microscopy
• mathematical models for      describing imaging systems, as well as quality criteria
• insight into the      technology behind the systems
• familiarity with the      use of light microscopes for biomedical research, including digital image      recording and processing
• examples of biomedical      applications and methods in microscopy
• experience in reading      and extracting information from a scientific publication, and to present a      summary in the form of a seminar

The course is identical to SK2500, Physics of Biomedical Microscopy, except for the seminar presentation (1.5 credits. Grade scale P/F). Material concerning the seminar presentation can be found here. For all other information, see course SK2500 (https://www.kth.se/social/course/SK2500/).
