Towards a single shot holographic diagnosis of Schistosomiasis haematobium

Large scale, highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tools are needed to eliminate the transmission of schistosomiasis. This report expands upon the novel approach from M. Hoeboer and P.M. Nijman. Their Smart Optical Diagnostic Of Schistosomiasis device (SODOS), combining the principles of flow cytometry and digital holography, was able to...

Discrete Frequency Seismology

This work determines whether the amount of frequency components present in the data can be reduced, whilst still retaining image quality, whereas most efforts in seismological research are done in reducing spatial sampling. It is shown using a PCA on the frequency spectra of several data sets that indeed a large redundancy in frequency content...

Comparison of different wavefront reconstruction methods: With Zernike polynomials

The goal of the research is to find out whether it is possible to measure a wavefront qualitatively and quantitatively with Janssen’s recently developed analytical algorithm. The spot displacements given by the wavefront sensor are used to relate the derivatives of the wavefront with respect to x and y with the Zernike coefficients of the...
