Imaging, Microscopy and More

Kurt did a great job on this comprehensive video which covers spinning disk and point scanning methods.

I’ll be presenting today at the BIDC on “MacGyver Microscopy” at the UCSF Parnassus campus. Hope to see you there!

Another excellent STORM image from the course:    

We’ve been acquiring absolutely stunning data from the STORM rig at the course. Here’s an example! This is a 3-D image. The Gaussian spots indicate molecules which were detected.  

A quick update from the course at UCSF. I shot this video at 9:30pm Tuesday night. Hard work for all but a lot of fun! Here is a video showing the Agilent MLC Laser Launch working on a Ti-E for TIRF, imaging beads. You’ll also see a white and rather unusual stage insert. The NIC…

Studens and faculty alike have been working long hours at the inaugural UCSF microscopy course. Yesterday’s training covered ray theory to fluorescent imaging, and the students were running the last lab until about 8:45pm! Today will cover cameras, resolution, PSF and scope calibrations, and the labs will include camera characterization and fluorescent labeling. If you’re…

Most of our device manufacturer representatives have shown up at the course, along with piles of gear. This room was empty as of friday!    

It’s a slow start, but the camera follows booster separation and return. Crazy video!

I’m presenting on “MacGyver Microscopy” at the BIDC on Thursday April 5. Please feel free to attend as the lecture is available to anyone interested! I’ll cover some fun topics like: – Home-Brew Device Triggering – Image Filters Used for Device Positioning -Low cost Vibration isolation on high sensitivity imaging systems Here’s the flyer –…
