Dharmakīrti versus Akalaṅka on the nature, object, and structure of perception by Nahata, S

“…and (3) Is perception structured non-dualistically (Dharmakīrti) or dualistically (Akalaṅka)? While chapters 1 and 2 introduce Dharmakīrti’s theory of perception and Akalaṅka’s theory of perception respectively, each of the subsequent chapters (chapters 3, 4, 5) examines a particular point of contention by (a) explaining the philosophical issue at stake, (b) reconstructing and analysing the arguments advanced by both sides for their respective positions, and (c) reflecting on the significance of the debate. …”

Biomedical cellular imaging using digital holographic photothermal microscope by Hendry Renaldo.

“…The technique is based on recording the interference between two laser beams, namely the object beam and the reference beam with a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) camera and numerically reconstructing the interference result (hologram) with a computer of sufficient speed. …”
