- Contents
- The course aims to introduce the student to the fundamental concepts of the latest generation optical spectroscopic and imaging techniques for the characterization of materials. Among different case studies, particular relevance will be given to the analysis of the spectroscopic markers of corneal pathologies.
Part A: Elements of light diffusion, cross section and diagrams of experiments, interferometers and diffraction gratings. Models and examples of viscoelastic characterization of natural and synthetic systems.
Part B: Principles of optics for understanding the main microscopy technologies, the principle of operation of the main imaging techniques, with applications in biology and ophthalmology. - Reference texts
- Notes provided by the teacher.
- Educational objectives
- The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge to understand the theoretical foundations and some experimental methods for the characterization of matter with particular reference to natural and synthetic systems, cells and tissues.
The main knowledge acquired will concern the principles and potential of some experimental methods of spectroscopy (part A), microscopy and imaging (part B).
The main skills that the course aims to transmit are:
- to be able to use the fundamental physical laws to understand the operating principle of light spectroscopies in relation to the study of materials (part A).
- to be able to use the fundamental physical laws to understand the operating principle of modern microscopy and imaging technologies in the field of optics and ophthalmology (part B). - Teaching methods
- The course is articulated in
1) Theoretical lessons
2) Laboratory activities - Learning verification modality
- Oral test to ascertain: i) the ability to understand the theoretical contents of the course (Dublin descriptor 1), ii) the ability to expose and correctly apply theoretical knowledge (Dublin descriptor 2), iii) Ability to autonomously formulate appropriate judgments and observations on possible alternative model (Dublin descriptor 3), iv) the ability in effective and pertinent written communication (Dublin 4 descriptor).
