Optical Technology Transfer and Innovation in Ophthalmic Imaging
暫譯: 眼科影像中的光學技術轉移與創新
Masters, Barry R.
商品描述
This book presents a new view of symbiotic technology transfer between different fields in the optical sciences. For example, adaptive optics were initially developed for military research programs seeking to correct the effects of atmospheric fluctuations on telescopes. The technology was subsequently transferred to optical microscopes, and then finally used in ophthalmic imaging devices to image photoreceptors in the living human retina. This book examines various recent and historical technology transfers among the optical sciences, and attempts to answer the following questions: What are the mathematical and the physical foundations of these technology advances? What events and influences (military requirements, new journals, new funding sources, the internet, etc.) made the technologies and their transfer possible? What was the impact of technology transfer on the development of optical science? What role did the human eye and visual system play in technology development? This book examines how innovations propagate from one field to another, illustrating the benefits of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
This book is about curiosity, skepticism, innovation, and creativity in science and technology, and explores practices that advance innovation and those that inhibit innovation. Analyses of some selected, pertinent case studies highlight the roles of unique individuals who were able to make the journey from initial concept to widespread clinical acceptance of their instruments. What are the common factors of their education, experiences, and approaches that resulted in their inventions and innovations?This book is intended to inspire and encourage those who dream of advancing the diagnostics and the treatment of diseases through new medical devices. It also addresses budding startup dreamers, venture capitalists, research directors, and funding agency administrators by providing new insights into practices that promote and inhibit innovation. This book should be of interest to scientists and researchers in many fields of optics, as well as technical policy makers at funding institutions.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了一種新的觀點，探討光學科學中不同領域之間的共生技術轉移。例如，自適應光學最初是為了軍事研究計畫而開發，旨在修正大氣波動對望遠鏡的影響。該技術隨後被轉移到光學顯微鏡，最終用於眼科成像設備，以成像活體人類視網膜中的感光細胞。本書考察了光學科學中各種近期和歷史的技術轉移，並試圖回答以下問題：這些技術進步的數學和物理基礎是什麼？哪些事件和影響（軍事需求、新期刊、新資金來源、互聯網等）使這些技術及其轉移成為可能？技術轉移對光學科學的發展有何影響？人眼和視覺系統在技術發展中扮演了什麼角色？本書探討了創新如何從一個領域傳播到另一個領域，並說明跨學科合作的好處。
這本書關於科學和技術中的好奇心、懷疑精神、創新和創造力，並探討促進創新和抑制創新的實踐。對一些選定的相關案例研究的分析突顯了那些能夠從初始概念到其儀器廣泛臨床接受的獨特個體的角色。他們的教育、經驗和方法中有哪些共同因素導致了他們的發明和創新？
這本書旨在激勵和鼓勵那些夢想通過新醫療設備推進疾病診斷和治療的人。它還針對初創企業的夢想家、風險投資家、研究主任和資助機構的管理者，提供促進和抑制創新的實踐的新見解。這本書應該對許多光學領域的科學家和研究人員，以及資助機構的技術政策制定者感興趣。
作者簡介
Professor Barry R. Masters has received a PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, an MS degree from Florida State University, and a BS from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, New York. Professor Masters was Visiting Scientist in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Visiting Scholar in the History of Science Department at Harvard University, Visiting Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Bern, and Professor in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. He was a Visiting Professor in Japan, India, Australia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Turkey, Wales, England, P. R. China, and Egypt. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), OPTICA, formerly called the Optical Society of America (OSA), and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). From 1999 to 2000 Professor Masters was an AAAS Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow and served as Legislative Assistant at the United States Congress. He is a recipient of the Vogt Prize for Ophthalmic Research (highest Swiss award for research in ophthalmology) with Professor Dr. Matthias Böhnke in 1999 for their work on "Confocal Microscopy of the Cornea." Professor Masters has published 87 refereed papers, 143 book chapters and proceedings articles, 105 abstracts, and 269 book reviews. He presented 416 invited lectures. He is the editor or author of 11 books, including Noninvasive Diagnostic Techniques in Ophthalmology, Confocal Microscopy and Multiphoton Excitation Microscopy: The Genesis of Live Cell Imaging, Handbook of Biomedical Nonlinear Optical Microscopy (with Professor Peter T. C. So), and Superresolution Optical Microscopy, The Quest for Enhanced Resolution and Contrast that was published by Springer Nature Switzerland AG (2020). This book has been accessed 36,000 times (May 1, 2025). He wrote the essay "What Is Light?" (translated into 15 languages) for the International Commission for Optics (ICO) to inaugurate the International Year of Light, 2015. He lectures worldwide on the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), biomedical ethics, critical thinking, and biomedical photonics. His scholarly interests include developments in the fields of in vivo microscopy of the human eye and skin, biomedical imaging and spectroscopy, fractal analysis of branching patterns in the human retinal vasculature, ethics in science and medicine, the history of 19th and 20th century physics, science education, and the nexus of art, optics, and human visual science.
