Optics for Biology and Medicine

Lecturer:

Jiří Novák (gar.)

Tutor:

Jiří Novák (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Biomedical Informatics

Synopsis:

The course covers optics theory and its application in

engineering, biology, and medicine. It describes properties

of optical radiation from a view of photon, electromagnetic

and geometric theory. It is focused also on sources and

detectors of optical radiation, and basic properties of

optical instruments. Special part of the course is

dedicated to modern optical instruments and methods, which

are used in biology and medicine. Present trends of

development of optical methods in biomedicine are also

discussed.
