Abstract

Terahertz spectroscopy represents a frontier in the field of biomedical imaging. It is possible to image complex objects that are opaque to visible and infrared light. In this paper, we have used THz imaging to reveal the structure inside a sunflower seed. We compare images based on time- and frequency-domain representations of the THz scans, and conclude that for this type of specimen the time-domain THz scans provide more detailed information than their frequency-domain counterparts.
