Abstract:
:We discuss the general properties of optical imaging in three-dimensional object domains from an information-theoretic standpoint, expressing system performance in terms of imaging mutual information (IMI). We use IMI to characterize volume holographic imaging, a new optical imaging method with depth discrimination capability. The performance of this holographic method in imaging a simple discrete, axial fluorescent object is compared with that of two alternatives: a pinhole-based system and a combined system that uses both a pinhole and a hologram in parallel.

杂志文章,评审abstract::In the wake of public distrust regarding biotechnology, it has been suggested that the debate should be moved "upstream", whereby the public help to set research priorities. Although many scientists see this as an illogical reaction to a loss of faith in science, we argue that the boundaries between science and its te...
