Perceptual cost and benefit of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses: effect of energy balance, addition, and adaptation
The study shows that the subject's response to the different lenses is influenced by the adaptation process that precedes each test. The neural mechanisms underlying the visual processing of different images, provided by these corrections, are still not fully...
Talk Summary
Since its invention in the 17th century, microscopy has revolutionized our understanding of the world, allowing us to observe structures invisible to the human eye. In this talk, we will take a historical journey through the major milestones of optical microscopy, from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek’s early experiments to modern innovations that have taken this technique to new limits of resolution and application. We will explore the fundamentals of optical microscopy, including the principle of image formation, the importance of diffraction, and improvements in illumination and contrast that have revealed previously unattainable details.
