Summary
Julesz constructed novel stereograms revealing depth only visible with two eyes, unlike natural scenes. These textured surface stereograms expand artistic possibilities in stereoscopic imaging.
Area of Science:
- Visual Perception
- Stereoscopy
- Computer Graphics
Background:
- Binocular vision naturally utilizes extended stereoscopic surfaces.
- Julesz noted enclosed depth surfaces in stereograms are absent in natural scenes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present constructed textured surface stereograms as anaglyphs.
- To demonstrate these stereograms reveal depth visible only with two eyes.
- To explore extending artistic expression in stereoscopy.
Main Methods:
- Construction of stereograms using various carrier patterns.
- Embedding stereoscopic inclusions within modulated surface depths.
- Incorporation of conventional stereoscopic images into constructed stereograms.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated stereograms satisfying the criterion of revealing binocularly concealed depth.
- Showcased a wide range of carrier patterns for complex stereoscopic surfaces.
- Presented examples of anaglyphs with embedded and incorporated stereoscopic elements.
Conclusions:
- Textured surface stereograms can create depth visible only to binocular vision.
- These methods allow for complex and artistically expressive stereoscopic constructions.
- The technique offers new avenues for artistic expression in stereoscopy.

Isomerism in Complexes
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy
14.4K
Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

Stereoisomers
13.7K
On the basis of mirror symmetry, stereoisomers of an organic molecule can be further classified into diastereomers and enantiomers. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. Substituted alkenes, such as the cis and trans isomers of 2-butene, are diastereomers, as these molecules exhibit different spatial orientations of their constituent atoms, are not mirror images of each other, and do not interconvert. Here, the interconversion is suppressed due to...
