LECTURE NOTES IN MEDICAL ENGINEERING

An Animated Introduction to Microscopy — Part 1

The Gateway to the Microcosm of the Human Body

These are the lecture notes for FAU’s YouTube Lecture “Medical Engineering”. This is a full transcript of the lecture video & matching slides. The course is supported by a corresponding Open Access Book, and Open Source Slides (zenodo/github). We hope, you enjoy this as much as the videos. Of course, this transcript was created with deep learning techniques largely automatically and only minor manual modifications were performed. Try it yourself!

Welcome back to Medical Engineering. Today we want to talk a little bit about the topic of microscopy. We actually split this up into two videos. In the first one, we will talk about the fundamentals of optics and how magnification works. In the second one, we want to talk a bit about the contrast mechanisms that we can use in order to generate images in microscopy. So I am looking forward to discussing microscopy with you guys.
