Optical Imaging: Technology, Methods & Applications Book

Explore the fundamental principles of light behavior with Optical Imaging: Technology, Methods & Applications. This comprehensive text covers the behavior of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation used in advanced imaging techniques. By examining processes such as reflection, refraction, interference, scattering, transmission, polarization, and luminescence/fluorescence, readers gain a deep understanding of how different organic, inorganic, natural, and synthetic materials interact with light. This volume provides detailed discussions on optical image analysis and the determination of dispersed multi-phase flow for simulation and control purposes. It also explores practical applications, including the study of cultural heritage artifacts and research involving atomic and magnetic force microscopy. Designed for those in the fields of engineering and applied optics, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complex optical studies required for modern scientific research and technological development.
