Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course includes independent project work that can be chosen to be either experimental or theoretical in character.

Intended learning outcomes

After the completed course the student must be able to;

  • identify and explain the basic physical phenomena and mathematical principles that underlie different imaging methods such as AFM, MRI, confocal microscopy and electron microscopy.
  • identify, classify, and analyse the mathematical methods such as Fourier and Radon transformation that are used for producing and analysing images.
  • explain and calculate how the basic principles define the performance such as sensitivity and resolution of selected methods.
  • describe and exemplify the applications of selected methods in chemistry and chemical engineering.
  • identify and explain the choice of imaging methods most suitable for selected chemical problems.
  • perform selected imaging experiments.
