Theoretical kit for photonic microscopy
- Date The exact date of the course will be announced when enough students have registered. You will then be contacted to confirm your availability.
- Duration 1 day – 6 hours Doctoral School equivalent
- Language English or French
- Name of the teachers : Leon Espinosa – IAM team
- Administrative head : Marie-Line Garron and Éric Pilet
- Number of students : Group of 4 to 10 students, with priority given to PhD students of 1-2 year.
This workshop aims to give students the theoretical bases for understanding and using a light microscope. We will see:
1- The basics of the wave theory of light
2- The principle of diffraction
3- The optical diagram of an optical microscope
4- The principle of Kohler lighting and fluorescence modality.
5- The Fourier plane
6- Application of the Fourier plane to SIM microscopy
7- Other optical super resolution methods
At the end of the workshop, the PhD student will know how an optical microscope work.
Students prerequisites
- This workshop is recommended for students who wish to follow the other microscopy workshops
- Agreement of the thesis director
