Navigate can now run entirely with ASI's Tiger Controller, eliminating the NI data acquisition board altogether, simplifying the optoelectronics, and providing deterministic frame-to-frame operation. Documentation coming soon... github.com/TheDeanLab/n...

Oh my! the reviewer and editor comments 😜😂

We present multi-immersion Oblique Plane microscope (miOPM), a light-sheet platform that can be adapted to a wide range of applications, from sensitive live cell imaging to imaging organs and cleared tissues.

Poster board that says "Save our scientists" with symbols for 12 US federal agencies where scientists work

Found this sign I made in my office 8 years ago. Wish it didn't feel so relevant right now

I think a comment or an open discussion section would be a great addition to these posts

oh wow! what an incredibly productive run y'all had... sad to see it come to an end. Wishing everyone the best wherever the journey takes next

Imaging of cellular dynamics from a whole organism to subcellular scale with self-driving, multiscale microscopy Nature Methods - A self-driving multiresolution light-sheet microscope enables the simultaneous observation and quantification of cellular and subcellular dynamics in the context of intact and...

The self-driving multiscale microscope from @daetwylerstephan.bsky.social is out.

It can image an entire zebrafish embryo longitudinally and follow a volume of interest over time with high resolution.

We used it to study cancer-immune cell interactions.

Disappointing. The article also notes language changes l about the goals of the Hannah Gray, Freeman Hrabowski, and Gilliam programs.

‘The Untouchables’: How Columbia and N.Y.U. Benefit From Huge Tax Breaks (Published 2023) As New York City’s budget tightens, its wealthiest universities are bigger and richer than ever. Now, some officials think it’s time for the schools to pay more in taxes.

hmm, interesting. This reminds me of this recent article on tax exemptions for non-profits and Universities: www.nytimes.com/2023/09/26/n...

it's super neat that highlights from the CVML journal club is made accessible as a blog post! Cool logo too :) @hhmijanelia.bsky.social

Seems like there is a new ultracompact #femtosecond #laser source for #multiphoton #microscopy in town! 50 MHz rep rate means a 2-3 m cavity if there is a single pulse circulating in the cavity - folding that into that compact of a form factor is quite impressive!
