This comprehensive and up-to-date textbook provides students with a solid foundation in modern optical microscopy, covering a wide range of advanced techniques. Two new chapters delve into pump-probe techniques and imaging in scattering media, while additional material throughout covers light-sheet microscopy, image scanning microscopy, and much more. A diverse array of practical techniques is explored, including classical phase contrast and confocal microscopy, holographic, structured illumination, multi-photon, and coherent Raman microscopy, as well as optical coherence tomography. Fundamental topics such as Fourier optics, partial coherence, 3D imaging theory, statistical optics, and the physics of scattering and fluorescence are also covered in depth. The book is accompanied by a wealth of end-of-chapter problems and a solutions manual for instructors, making it an invaluable resource for electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and physics students enrolled in graduate courses on optical microscopy, as well as advanced undergraduates, professionals, and researchers seeking an accessible introduction to the field.
