Course Overview

Lectures will cover the following themes: ray optics, wave optics, Fourier optics, image formation, and elements that make up an optical microscope, such as light sources, and light detectors.

Learning Achievement

Understanding the performance of imaging optics from the standpoint of Fourier optics.
Understanding the types and performance of optical devices, such as light sources, lenses, and detectors, that make up a microscope.

Competence

Today, light-based measurement technology is indispensable for cutting-edge technology. Lectures on the principles of optics that support these measurement technologies from the perspective of Fourier optics.
