Physics: Biophotonics

<p>The course covers the basic principles of light interaction with biological tissue found in living beings, organic matter and our natural surroundings. Understanding this interaction allows to select appropriate techniques and design optimal instrumentation for probing the key features for classifying or grade the health/quality of diverse biological samples.</p><p>The methods covered in the course grasp spatial scales from microscopic cellular level, through the macroscopic photomigration regime to remote sensing of our biosphere. For enhanced understanding and to gain practical know-how, the course includes a creative hands-on project where student groups develop a simple setup for a biophotonic measurement technique, apply it to a selected sample and present the investigation at the end of the course.</p> <p>The course provides the student with knowledge combined with a unique toolset of methods valuable both for development and application of modern photonics in lifescience.</p><p>https://canvas.education.lu.se/courses/15008</p>
