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

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?

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

have you ever used MEETOPTICS catalogue? meetoptics.com

bought another domain name :-( ppooppy.com

TIL @thorlabs.bsky.social makes breakout board for arduino www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage...

there is no official way to run Napari GUI from jupyter notebook on a remote host?

zelux 1.6MP mono camera (thorlabs packaging) is dropping frames and can't sustain more than 15fps full-frame Using micro-manager as acquisition software. Any solution?

I'm so delighted to buy some custom art for my office! These happy cells capture the joy I still feel for seeing data from our Cell Painting assay 💕 Shout out to Kari Herrington for her skills! (kah-sage.com)

is there a way to install 45-degree mirror (beam splitter) into SM1 Thorlabs tube? Something like:

is there a neater way to demonstrate that red & blue are anti-correlated? scatter plot looks like trash obviously
