The dynamics of these structures as well their spectral properties will be evaluated. with color imaging capabilities, opening the field of visualization to biology, medicine and environmental problems. Theoretical and experimental studies of the resolution, image interpretation (to avoid misjudgements) and data storage belong to this area. In close collaboration with industry we will tailor the tools to be readied for technology. Though not directly involved industrial
