ADVANCED OPTICAL MICROSCOPY

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

Enrollment is open to all students. Undergraduate enrollment requires instructor permission via special registration form. This course covers a broad array of optical techniques for single-molecule detection, spectroscopy, and imaging for detection of (A) motional dynamics, (B) super-resolution structures beyond the diffraction limit, and (C) nanoscale interactions and orientations in biological samples. This course integrates rigorous quantitative analysis approaches and theoretical considerations across the disciplines of chemistry, biology, and physics.
