Specialized Seminars

In addition to the introductory seminar and the advanced seminars that build upon it, we also offer special seminars on selected topics at irregular intervals. These events address specific questions, applications, or experimental methods and provide an in-depth look at specific aspects of optical metrology and imaging. The spectrum ranges from practical experiments and application-oriented measurement methods to thematic excursions, such as into analog photography.

Special Seminar »Photography in Practice«

New to the program is a one-day seminar dedicated specifically to image capture techniques. This seminar is aimed not only at our customers from research and industry, but also at ambitious professional and prosumer photographers.

Planned topics

From photon to image

• Structure and function of a sensor
• Noise sources and their characteristics
• Bayerpattern and X-Trans

Exposure

• Sensitivity, ISO values and pixel sizes
• Over- and underexposure
• The exposure triangle: motion blur, depth of field, noise
  ➙ Practice tips

Resolution

• MTF, including test shots with Siemens star
• Good and bad blur, moiré effects
• Diffraction blur and aperture
• Depth of field, entrance and exit pupil
  ➙ Practice tips

Illumination and reflectivity

• Law of distance
• Gloss and mattness
• Directional reflection and the law of reflection
• Diffuse reflection and Lambert's law of radiation
• Color, albedo, remission and contrast
• Rayleigh scattering (haze, sky blue)
• Mie scattering (whitemist filter)
• Tyndall effect (fog)
• Geometric scattering (blackmist filter)
• Diffraction (hair in backlight)
• Polarization and Brewster angle
• Polarization of the sky

Filter
