OCT I was fortunate enough to have a look at the software, hardware of an OCT system today, as well as have my left retina scanned (click image to enlarge)!!! Thanks to Dr. NA, colleagues and also AC, I was able to have this opportunity. Anyway, I remember wondering back during the imaging course why ultrasound was limited to ultrasound - why not shorter wavelengths - and I guess this is the answer. I don't really remembering thinking about it much more than a ponder. I don't really understand the explanation given in Wikipedia, but I'll try again at some point. Anyway, it was uber exciting to see this new machine and what it can do - and v. cool I got to go on it!!!

Resources

In other news, I just discovered some cool books/resources in my house I'm going to have to make time to get through. Some of the coolest ones include "Understanding the Universe" , "Land of the Pyramids" and "Mozart" booklets/DVDs. They're aimed at primary school children, but hey - gotta start somewhere, right! I'm v. excited. Well, if you're wondering what 'serious' books I'm reading, I've started London and I need to finish Wild Swans, which I started a millennium ago. Been meaning to go to the library to pick up some books I thought about at LB.

National Library I forgot to mention that there was this little interview thing that happened last Wed at the Nat Lib about digitisation of national collections. It goes without saying, but the peeps were v. nice and v. interesting. But agreeing to the whole thing made me a bit nervous, because I don't want to be one of those people who seem like they want to get their name/face on everything and really have very little substance. Anyway, all I can do is try my best to be honest and clear about the things I care about.
