Adaptive Optics: From Design to Application
Wed, Mar 30, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology originally used for removing the blurring effect of atmospheric turbulence on images in ground-based telescopes. Since then, it has been become invaluable in other fields, such as vision science and microscopy. For example, by correcting for blur due to the optics of the eye, AO has revolutionized ophthalmology by allowing diseases to be detected and monitored at the single-cell level, thus providing earlier diagnoses. Karen Hampson, Ph.D., of Oxford University overviews AO technology and its application considerations for astronomy, vision science, and microscopy.
