O tym, czym jest tomografia optyczna OCT i do czego służy oraz jakie są najnowsze metody usprawniania jej działania.

Kiedy mówimy o grzybach, zazwyczaj przed oczami staje nam borowik albo muchomor. Tymczasem taksonomiczne królestwo grzybów jest znacznie większe i bardziej różnorodne – do dzisiaj opisano ponad 100 tysięcy gatunków, przy czym szacuje się, że w rzeczywistości może ich być nawet pięćdziesiąt razy więcej.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) – a kind of optical counterpart of ultrasound imaging – is continually being improved as image contrast boosting techniques are developed.

Polish Sign Language (PJM) is a natural communication system that has been evolving for two centuries. It is at the heart of the identity and culture of the Deaf community in Poland, but it is often marginalized and neglected.
