Provide the theoretical foundations and the experimental practice of microscopic techniques with particular reference to optical, electronic and probe microscopy.
Only for the Curriculum of Matter Physics, the teaching can be inserted into the Study Planet in substitution of "Elements of General Relativity, Astrophysics and Cosmology" or to "Elements of Terrestrial and Environmental Physics"

Fundamentals of optical microscopy, reflection microscopy, metallography, transmission microscopy, use of polarized light.
Operating principles of electron microscopy, SEM, TEM, EDX. Use of SEM: detection of secondary and backscattered electrons, capture and morphometric analysis of images.
Principles of operation and components of a probe scanning microscope, atomic force microscopy in contact, atomic force microscopy in non-contact. Secondary scanning techniques. Resolution and artifacts.
Introduction to 2D and 3D image analysis, improvement of image quality with and without kernel use, segmentation, binarization and quantitative image analysis with open-access software.
