Lecture

5.04.4667 - Biophotonics and Spectroscopy
- Prof. Dr. Walter Neu, Dipl.-Phys.
Tuesday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 02/04/24)

Application of atomic and molecular spectroscopy at a wide range of fields, e.g. industrial, biosciences, microscopy, pharmaceutical, environmental, trace analysis: 1. Explain the mechanisms of and fundamental distinctions between molecular and atomic spectroscopy 2. Recognise the issues regarding sensitivity and selectivity of molecular and atomic spectroscopy 3. Evaluate the limitations and analytical issues associated with each method 3. Demonstrate analytical application of these atomic and molecular absorption and emission techniques 4. Discriminate the analytical challenges that can be appropriately solved by these spectroscopic techniques

Seminar

5.04.6610 - Modern Methods in Optical Microscopy
- Markus Schellenberg
- Prof. Dr. Walter Neu, Dipl.-Phys.
- Dr. rer. nat. Sandra Koch
Tuesday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 02/04/24)

Please subscribe as well in 5.04.4667 Vorlesung: Biophotonics to get necessary documents and information. The seminar "Modern Methods in Optical Microscopy" is part of "Advanced Metrology" and might be offered parallel with the seminar of "Biophotonics" (depending on the amount of participants). Examination: presentation in each part. - Demonstrate knowledge, fundamental understanding and critical awareness of current research fields in state-of-the-art optical microscopy. - Personal development through practice of communication, presentation, time management, teamwork, problem solving, project management, critical evaluation, numeracy, and IT skills. - Students are able to prepare a written scientific report on their own and present their results in an appropriate way to the group; in particular to understand, analyze, classify and work on an advanced microscopy topic, thoroughly study the recommended (and further) literature; find and critically check relevant literature make and incorporate their own thoughts, write down and present their results in a mathematically correct and comprehensible way, finish in time. Topics to be covered will include: microscopy, wave optics, optical imaging, spatial/temporal coherence, light generation/detection, e.g.: - Confocal microscopy - Superresolution microscopy - Single Molecule Imaging - Imaging of living tissue - Raman microscopy - Stochastic microscopy
5.04.6611 - Advanced Optical Spectroscopy
- Dr. rer. nat. Sandra Koch
- Prof. Dr. Walter Neu, Dipl.-Phys.
- Markus Schellenberg
Tuesday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 02/04/24)

Hinweise zum Modul

Prerequisites	Basics in optics and laser physics, in particular, fundamentals of optics and photonics; atomic and molecular physics; spectrophysics
Module examination	KL
Skills to be acquired in this module	The students thoroughly deepen their knowledge on concepts of spectroscopy as well as on biophotonics, This module provides the theoretical background for analytical applications involving UV-Visible spectroscopy, atomic absorption, emission and laser based spectroscopies. The students develop a sound understanding of the principles and instrumentation of atomic and molecular spectroscopy with in depth applications to a wide range of environments e.g. analytical, biological, industrial, pharmaceutical, environmental. The students develop problem solving skills with reasoning based on theory underlying spectroscopy and photonics in biosciences and medicine thus providing a background to practical laboratory training.
