When I saw this fluorescent green dinosaur at the shops today, it was an instant "must buy". 😅🧪🧬🦕
The #DIYNAFLUOR name and logo started out as a bit of a joke, but ultimately they have really helped catch peoples attention for our open-source DIY DNA fluorometer project.- tinyurl.com/yfh33dsx
at some point will release adaptors for Thorlabs BBD302 XY stage controller and BPC301 piezo controller
Also Pollux linear stage and Picard filter wheel
And some general guidance for developing python-based device adapters for µManager
next stop: using .NET -> Python bindings to write adapters for Thorlabs stages
github.com/Thorlabs/Mot...
mmm-huh
just wrote my first MicroManager device adapter for a Picard filter wheel (LabView and C# SDK available but i ain't touching that)
using PyDevice github.com/micro-manage...
cost me completely destroyed python env and MM installation on test machine and like 4 hours
anyone using Thorlabs filterwheel with micro-manager? How do I make acquisition wait for wheel to stop moiving lol

Microscopes are Analog to Digital devices!
I drew this for teaching purposes.

all metrics are pretty much useless, only thing that matters is shipping product that you can sell. In science it can be publishable data, submitted grants, papers etc
"Show me the incentive, and I'll show you the outcome"
if you do mouse brain imaging through glass window: how to make microscope orthogonal to the window: opg.optica.org/boe/fulltext...
so far oil is #1 issue in that thread
I love the "part of microscope" phrase. Your embedding matters!
also there is Nyquist in time! (if you care about things moving/blinking)
what to explain? Just switch from 8bit to 16bit to get more signal!
lmao when i tell people "image is just a square of numbers" i get that "Aha!" look
Microscopy peeps: If you could teach 1 thing to users, what would it be?
For example: geometrical optics/aberrations/RI theory? maybe some electrical thing? how lasers work? where vibrations come from? Why images are blurry?
i guess one explanation is that noise data are 3D (X*Y*T) and time points are highly correlated
am i dumb? how is noise16 (hamamatsu orca "dark" image) has 4x compression ratio?? src www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
TIL @nvladimus.bsky.social has a blog nvladimus.medium.com/achromat-inv...
I love when companies release technical notes www.elveflow.com/microfluidic...
company that sells parts for microscopy, optomechanics, light sources and more also publishes comic book www.optosigma.com/us_en/projec...
Working on Full-Stack Microscopy Handbook
Not an encyclopedia on everything that goes in microscopy experiments, but a guide to identify starting point when you need to know something specific or have blind spots
Example code, designs, checklist and a lot of links to sources
TIL @thorlabs.bsky.social makes breakout board for arduino www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage...
what happened with the Flamingo microscope project? morgridge.org/research/lab...
learning about IMC, working on a demo notebooks for analyzing imaging mass-cytometry
there is no official way to run Napari GUI from jupyter notebook on a remote host?
why dont say 730 then :-D
