I am desirous of this rather impressive objective lens.

Now out in JACS. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... Grateful to thoughtful reviewers who found some errors in our model and encouraged us to make a better one! A renaissance in magnetobiology is coming...

In a deviation from our previous updates, our automatic parameter-free deconvolution code is now slightly _slower_ than before (~4.5 %), but more robust for low SNR data. Standard: beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgc_notebook/ Biggs-Andrews accelerated: beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgc_notebook/

Need to play more with it but so far works great on this OPM data.

Introducing warpfield, an open source Python library for GPU-accelerated non-rigid 3D registration. Warps and aligns gigavoxel volumes within seconds (not hours). For 3D microscopy, region-to-region and cell-to-cell matching. A collaboration with @mh123.bsky.social 🚀 github.com/danionella/w...

Thanks to a dose of activation energy from @dpshepherd.bsky.social, I've finally cleaned up my Biggs–Andrews accelerated version of our automatic parameter-free deconvolution code and made it available at beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgcba_noteb.... This is ~2.75× faster than the previous version. 1/4

Thanks to some CUDA trickery*, our automatic parameter-free deconvolution code is now ~3× faster than the previous version (~9× faster than the original) while still producing exactly the same results as before. Try it out for free using Google Colab at beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgc_notebook/ 1 / 2

Fully-funded and well-supported PhD opportunity for Black UK-domiciled students here at Glasgow University: www.gla.ac.uk/scholarships.... The main call for applications closed in January, but evidently 2 more places have become available - a potential open goal for a suitable applicant! [1/2]

After years parked at a Polara, I’m excited to share that my PhD work is finally out! We figured out why imaging at liquid helium temperatures wasn’t working—and how to fix it. 🔗 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Happy to see my Postdoc work out @natbiotech.nature.com. Using HaloTag and synthetic fluorophores instead of FPs enables us to shift the spectral properties of kinase activity reporters (KARs) to the far-red 🔬. Huge thanks to everyone involved @jinzhanglab.bsky.social! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Following a helpful and pleasant peer-review process, our direct-view oblique plane microscopy manuscript has now been published in Optica: doi.org/10.1364/OPTI... Special thanks to the copy editor who let us keep our cheeky little acknowledgement of the enjoyableness of drinking a cup of tea.

Happy to share our work published in Nature Photonics: "Threading light through dynamic complex media". We show how to pilot beams of light through the most stable channels within moving scattering media. Special thanks to Chai, Christina & John from the Structured Light Group, Exeter! #Photonics💡

Looks like Zeiss just released a Fourier light field (doi.org/10.1364/OE.2...) product: www.zeiss.com/microscopy/e... I'll be very interested to see how people get on with it.

mScarlet3-M163H/M66Q #FluorescentProtein #GFP is reported as an exceptionally photostable red FP. I'm wondering if any of you have practical experience with it yet? @steveroyle.bsky.social @franbottanelli.bsky.social @joachimgoedhart.bsky.social @christlet.bsky.social @manorlaboratory.bsky.social

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. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
