We now have new laser technology where students can:-

1. Create their own diffraction patterns.

2. Watch how light propagates.

3. Remove background patterns using lasers and lenses.

4. Understand optical properties of lenses

5. Use basic mathematical equations to predict how light

propagates and how lasers produce diffraction patterns.

All courses consist of numerous practical exercises as well as lectures in the theory of digital imaging. The percentage of theory and practical will be determined by your individual requirements.

Where required full practical and written examinations will be included with detailed assessments of each student.
