Looking at samples under a microscope that are unstained typically shows nothing. Without a stain to show the sample, most specimens would look invisible and transparent. However, one technique that has been used in microscopes for a very long time is called differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy and is dependent on a very simple principle….

In the field of imaging there is another branch of image acquisition/analysis/study that is called Computational Photography as distinguished from traditional photography. In traditional photography, with a regular camera, you take a picture of a 3D scene through a camera. This light from the scene is captured as a 2-dimensional representation onto a photo-sensitive surface,…

 Image analysis used to be very labor-intensive operation. It required programmers to understand what was being analyzed and then developing algorithms to specifically find the areas of interest. Then came Machine learning and Artificial intelligence tools. These found and analyzed the data but now you needed different set of programmers and they needed more sample…

It is always amazing to see that there are several options available for users as they develop 3D models for imaging. The one that is open source and has been gaining significant following is Blender. There are several choices for users for software and there are several websites that will compare the different offerings. The…
