Sommario/riassunto

""[Fauna and Flora, Earth and Sky] is, in fact, the most intelligent, thoughtful, original, challenging, and highly entertaining work of nature writing since Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams. . . . It is her broad scope of contemplation, combined with her fiercely beautiful and detailed renderings of passion, natural and human, that give Trudy Dittmar's first but fully mature book its remarkable originality and considerable power."" --Robert Finch,Los Angeles Times Book Review""Honest self-scrutiny is irresistible, especially when told with a knack for diction of place, as this author demonstrates o

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents a unique methodology of precious and original scientific work in optical microscopy that is scarce to be found elsewhere. It covers modern 3D optical microscopy to provide a solid understanding of microscopic optics and imaging theory. With an inspiring development in diffractive image microscopy and ANN-based reverse mapping modeling, this is an invaluable book for precision optics, precision metrology, optical testing, biomedical engineering, and physics students or staff taking R&D on optical microscopy, as well as advanced undergraduates, professionals, and researchers looking for an accessible introduction to the field.
