Advanced Imaging Techniques

Concept demonstrated

Demonstrates the penetration depth of different wavelength.

Materials

• laser pointers with different wavelengths
• your finger
• a dark room
  
  

Practical Setup

The teacher holds laser pointer onto his finger in clear view of students and "shoots" different wavelengths through.
Which one can students still see on the other side of the finger?

warning: do NOT point laser towards students!

Idea/Implementation

Concept demonstrated

Demonstrates how a light sheet illuminates a sample.

Materials

• glass block with etched in 3D Image (in our case: a brain)
• a laser "pointer" that creates a light sheet (eg. from Picotronic/Laser Fuchs)
• darkened room
  
  

Practical Setup

• stand glass block on blackish surface or hold it up
• shine light sheet laser pointer through the glass block

warning: do NOT point laser towards students!
