Abstract

A special training laboratory on optical biophysics for the undergraduate and postgraduate students specialized in biophysics, biochemical physics and medical physics in the framework of subspecialties on biomedical optics, laser medicine, information technologies and mathematical modeling in medicine, and biomedical transducers and sensors is described. The laboratory consists of several sets of topically united practical works: 1) Electronics; 2) Coherent optics of scattering media and interferometry of random phase objects; 3) Coherent-domain optical methods in biomedicine; 4) In vivo reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopy of human skin; 5) Educational-research setups for postgraduate students; 6) Tissue optics and spectroscopy.
