Content: The module focuses primarily on discussingestablished imaging techniques including (a) optical and infrared imaging, (b)magnetic resonance imaging, (c) X-ray imaging and tomography, and (d)ultrasound imaging and also covers a range of more recent imaging modalities.The students will learn:

1. whatthese imaging techniques can measure (such as sample density or concentration,material transport, chemical composition, temperature),
2. howthe measurements work (physical measurement principles, hardware requirements,image reconstruction), and
3. howto determine the most suited imaging methods for a given problem.

Learning goals: After the successful completion ofthe course, the students shall:

1. understandthe physical principles and practical aspects of the most common imagingmethods,
2. beable to assess the pros and cons of these methods with regard to cost,complexity, expected contrasts, spatial and temporal resolution, and based onthis assessment
3. beable to identify the most suited imaging modality for any specific engineeringchallenge in the field of chemical and bioprocess engineering.
