Abstract:
New optical discrete correlators based on multiple-imaging systems with a simple structure and good stability are proposed. The systems are composed of lenses for image duplication and optical shutters for kernel specification. As a result, large throughput can be attained with an incoherent configuration. The throughput of the system is estimated, and several logic operations are demonstrated to verify the usefulness of the proposed systems for digital optical computing. The proposed system will be especially useful for constructing a compact and stable optical computing system.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
