X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

11.0K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Interference and Diffraction02:18

Interference and Diffraction

54.2K
Interference is a characteristic phenomenon exhibited by waves. When two electromagnetic waves interact with their peaks and troughs coinciding, a resulting wave with enhanced amplitude is produced. This is known as constructive interference. In this case, the two waves interacting are in phase with each other.

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
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...

Scanning Electron Microscopy01:07

Scanning Electron Microscopy

5.9K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

    Area of Science:

    • Optical imaging
    • Quantum imaging

    Background:

    • Traditional imaging techniques suffer from significant quality degradation when subjected to scattering media.
    • Scattering poses a major challenge for imaging in environments like fog, biological tissues, or turbulent atmospheres.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally compare the performance of ghost imaging against traditional non-correlated imaging under scattering conditions.
    • To develop a model explaining the observed robustness of ghost imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental setup comparing ghost imaging and traditional imaging.
    • Introduction of controlled scattering disturbances.
    • Quantitative analysis of image quality degradation.

    Main Results:

    • Ghost imaging demonstrated significantly higher robustness to scattering compared to traditional imaging.
    • Image quality in ghost imaging remained largely unaffected by increasing scattering.
    • Traditional imaging quality declined dramatically with increased scattering.

    Conclusions:

    • Ghost imaging offers a robust alternative to traditional imaging in scattering environments.
    • The developed model provides insight into the underlying physics of ghost imaging's superiority.
    • Ghost imaging is well-suited for practical applications in harsh environments.
