Ray-tracing image simulations of transparent objects with complex shape and inhomogeneous refractive index

Armin Kalita, Bryan Oller, Thomas Paula +18

Optical images of transparent three-dimensional objects can be different from a replica of the object's cross section in the image plane due to refraction at the surface or in the…
