Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The main contents of the course are the basics of Fourier optics applied to light and electron microscopy. To lay the foundations the course will include an introduction to electrostatics and electrodynamics. From there we will develop the fundamental equations of scalar diffraction theory. A large part of the course will be used for student presentations on selected topics of Fourier optics from book chapters and possibly review papers.

Intended learning outcomes

After this course you should be able to read and understand technical literature on Fourier optics as well as present the contents of what you have read in English to an audience with a technical background
