BMDT 101 Optics and Imaging for Technologists4 credits
This course covers light and lasers basics and their integration into biomedical systems and devices. The use of imaging systems such as microscopes and cameras and imaging processing techniques are studied. Safety standards and procedures will be emphasized. This course includes a comprehensive, hands-on lab to familiarize students with the biomedical device-based photonics manufacturing work environment.
Prerequisites: ABED 040 (or placement into MATH 087 or higher) and ABED 046 (or placement into ENGL 093 or higher)
Corequisites: BMDT 100 , BMDT 102 , and BMDT 103
