Optics
Optics is a branch of
physics that describes the
behavior and properties of
light and the interaction of
light with matter. The field
of optics usually describes
the behavior of visible,
infrared and ultraviolet

Confocal laser scanning microscopy
Confocal laser scanning
microscopy (CLSM or LSCM) is
a valuable tool for
obtaining high resolution
images and 3-D
reconstructions. The key
feature of confocal
... > full story
Infrared
Infrared (IR) radiation is
electromagnetic radiation of
a wavelength longer than
that of visible light, but
shorter than that of
microwave radiation. The
name means "below red", red
being the color of visible

Electromagnetic radiation
Electromagnetic radiation is
a propagating wave in space
with electric and magnetic
components. These components
oscillate at right angles to
each other and to the
direction of propagation. ... > full story

Doppler effect
The Doppler effect, named after Christian Andreas Doppler, is the apparent change in frequency or wavelength of a wave that is perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. The ... > more -
Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is the study of spectra, that is, the dependence of physical quantities on frequency. Spectroscopy is often used in physical and analytical chemistry for the identification of ... > more -
Electromagnetic spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible electromagnetic radiation. Above infrared in frequency comes visible light. This is the range in which the sun and stars similar to it emit ... > more -
Electrical phenomena
Electrical phenomena are commonplace and unusual events that can be observed which illuminate the principles of the physics of electricity and are explained by them. Electrical phenomena are a ... > more -
Radiography
Radiography is the creation of images by exposing a photographic film or other image receptor to X-rays. Since X-rays penetrate solid objects, but are weakened by them depending on the object's ... > more -
Radiant energy
Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. The term is most commonly used in the fields of radiometry, solar energy, heating and lighting, but is also used less frequently in other fields ... > more
