    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_instrument

    An illustration of some of the optical devices available for laboratory work in England in 1858. An optical instrument is a device that processes light waves (or photons), either to enhance an image for viewing or to analyze and determine their characteristic properties. Common examples include periscopes, microscopes, telescopes, and cameras ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography...

    The optical layout of a CTIS instrument is shown on the left part of the top image. A field stop is placed at the image plane of an objective lens, after which a lens collimates the light before it passes through a disperser (such as a grating or a prism). Finally, a re-imaging lens maps the dispersed image of the field stop onto a large-format ...

  9. Biophotonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophotonics

    Biophotonics can also be described as the "development and application of optical techniques, particularly imaging, to the study of biological molecules, cells and tissue". [2] One of the main benefits of using the optical techniques which make up biophotonics is that they preserve the integrity of the biological cells being examined. [3] [4]
