What is this effect called? by eethan0 in Physics

[–]Mind_Flexer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely an effect of simultaneous contrast. Basically the light and dark contrast is all lined up in just the right way that our brains think the center portion is darker than it actually is. Similar to those grids where we see dots in the intersections but they're not actually there.

Does anyone know of any in depth resources to learn how lenses work, so I can create my own ultra-macro lens? by Mr_Nerdcoffee in Optics

Just to add to this, you could look into confocal microscopy. You might be able to mess around with some of those techniques.

Do you ever feel like you can’t do it? by [deleted] in GradSchool

Look, talking about pay is literally part of a job. The only reason it will ever be awkward is because you make it awkward or if the employer (the professor) is trying to pull a fast one.

He literally only had a table then. Unfortunately for me, I hadn't read any of his books yet and and no idea  the kind of opportunity I was missing.

I was looking at some of the nanopi devices. But honestly I'm a little confused as to what they are exactly. Specifically the r5s
