Here's a six-month time-lapse of me building the single objective light sheet fluorescence microscope at the UCSF Center for Advanced Light Microscopy! Also pictured is

One of the difficulties in developing code for microscopes is to get access to the equipment. So, wouldn't it be nice to have emulators? Turns out that AI is really good at converting documentation into an emulator:

I made teaching tools for training people on the SNOUTY. Here they are for other people! I recommend laminating them so you can draw on them with dry erase markers :)

@tanner-fadero.bsky.social told me there was a discussion about the unofficial name for
#snouty
V3. We have had Mr. Snouty and King Snouty, and there were people suggesting Emperor Snouty. I think it is time for a Lady or EMPRESS snouty. I have created Art to support this.

Magnification is not resolution! Resolution is the minimum distance required to distinguish between two objects. You need to take into account how light spreads and refraction. Magnification just makes things bigger. I drew this for a workshop Iām helping to teach!

Iām behind on challenges because I guess it was Smaugust, for some reason I thought there was a Smaugtember with all the dragon images on my feed. Anyway it made me want to draw a dragon and I just like the idea of a giant powerful dragon performing delicate work.

Turns out I canāt help but draw microscopes on things. This ended up being an exercise in transposition to draw a microscope on this little marmal toy. I feels like a little puzzle that I will need to work on.

I found a new toy that you are supposed to draw on and wash off called a marmal (@lovemarmals) The first order of business was giving it a brain, which led to imagining what its nervous system would look like. It turned out a little bit like a supervillain.

Optogenetics! These little cells will have their proteins translocated by our spinning disk microscope and a blue light optoplate! I drew this to congratulate Kirsten Meyer whom I have had the opportunity to work with over the last few years! Now she is off to start her own lab at Yale!

If you were transfected with a protein that could make you glow. How annoying that would be for your sleep schedule? If it was MagLOV and you then discovered a magnet it would be glorious. Inspired by MagLOV protein:https://x.com/andrewgyork/status/1797408565742776348?s=46&t=2S117XXgyNbwHribuq4qcQ
