BK.LMI - Light Microscopy

This Advanced Microscopy Lab Course offers a hands-on introduction to optical microscopy, combining theoretical principles with modern imaging techniques. Students learn the fundamentals of physical optics, including resolution, contrast, and diffraction limits. The course covers experimental setup, Köhler illumination, and the role of conjugate planes in image formation. Laboratory sessions include building and aligning microscopes, optimizing illumination, and image processing using Fiji and Python.
