Download or read book Advanced Optical Imaging Theory written by Min Gu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical microscopy and associated technologies have advanced rapidly along with laser technology. These techniques have stimulated further development of the optical imaging theory, including 3-dimensional microscopy imaging theory, the theory of imaging with ultrashort pulsed beam illumination and the aberration theory for high numerical-aperture objectives. This book introduces these new theories in modern optical microscopy, providing comparisons with classical imaging as appropriate.
