Covers the fundamentals of electromagnetic waves and optics, including interference phenomena, diffraction, refraction, and reflection of light.
Covers the fundamental concepts of microscopy, explaining the need for magnification beyond the human eye and introducing advanced imaging techniques.
Explores Fresnel diffraction, Fraunhofer diffraction, the Babinet principle, and optical microscope resolution, as well as near-field microscopy and SNOM/NSOM imaging.
Explores imaging modes in TEM, covering electron-matter interactions, diffraction patterns, image formation, contrast principles, and detector configurations.
