Synopsis
Optical microscopy and the technology associated with it have been advanced quickly because of the introduction of lasers and the laser technology. The techniques have stimulated the further development of the optical imaging theory in various aspects. These aspects include the three-dimensional microscopic imaging theory in spatial and frequency domains, the imaging theory with ultrashort pulsed beam illumination, and the aberration theory for high numerical-aperture objectives. This book provides an introduction to these new theories needed in modern optical microscopy. The book consists of eight chapters including an introductory chapter. The chapters of this book are organized to minimize the need of cross-referencing. The relation to the classic imaging theory is given when the new imaging theories is introduced. The book is aimed for senior undergraduate students studying in courses such as optoelectronics, optical engineering, photonics, biophotonics, and applied physics, after they complete a modern optics subject or a similar one. The book can be also used a reference for scientists who are interested in modern optical microscopic imaging.

From the Back Cover
Optical microscopy and associated technologies advanced quickly after the introduction of the laser. The techniques have stimulated further development of optical imaging theory, including 3-dimensional microscopy imaging theory in spatial and frequency domains, the theory of imaging with ultrashort-pulse beams and aberration theory for high-numerical-aperture objectives. This book introduces these new theories in terms of modern optical microscopy. It consists of seven chapters including an introduction. The chapters are organized to minimize cross-referencing. Comparisons with classical imaging theory are made when the new imaging theory is introduced. The book is intended for senior undergraduate students in courses on optoelectronics, optical engineering, photonics, biophotonics and applied physics, after they have completed modern optics or a similar subject. It is also a reference for other scientists interested in the field.
