Open-Source Microscopy

SCIENCE NEWS: Calling all Microscopists! Do you images of ANY aspect of the natural world? Deadline is approaching for Nikon Small World competition 2020: enter.nikonsmallworld.com @micro_worlds @OSMicroscopy @MicroscopySoc @MicroscopeEvent Last year's wonderful winner:

@christlet @HenriquesLab @OSMicroscopy If you're keen to get started, you can build a regular @OpenFlexure microscope in anticipation :) we've not pulled in the new work from Strathclyde, but full parts and build instructions for the mechanical stage (which I don't think has changed) are at openflexure.org

An SRRF microscope for $1200! Sounds cool strathprints.strath.ac.uk/70497/ @HenriquesLab @OSMicroscopy

The Github for the "Open source laser engine" project from @JonasRies lab has developped recently with lots of details added (cc @OSMicroscopy) github.com/ries-lab/Laser…

@HohlbeinLab Let us know how they perform =D

A fully open-source #OPT (off-the-shelf and inexpensive parts) for large sample imaging. #GPU accelerated reconstructions in @FijiSc. Cool work from the Kaminski lab including @LaineBioImaging who recently joined our lab =). @gaby_gmartins @sebastianmunck you'll enjoy this one

@seamus_holden @AndrewGYork @dannygazali @LabOnTheCheap @HohlbeinLab Thank you Seamus 😉

Our second publication, an "open-source hardware" microscope add-on for blazing fast 3D imaging: andrewgyork.github.io/remote_refocus/ Includes raw data, CAD files, parts list, build instructions, figure generation code, and example hardware control code. #OpenSource #OpenSourceHardware

Open-source microscope incubator by @seamus_holden =)

@AndrewGYork @dannygazali @LabOnTheCheap I believe @seamus_holden recently built one and has a git. Is that right?

@dannygazali I've never built one. Any advice @LabOnTheCheap ? Or maybe @OSMicroscopy ?

DIY NIR laser-based system for autofocus with piezo controller including comprehensive how-to-build instructions (big.umassmed.edu/wiki/index.php…)

A quick question for #microscopy twitter: I know there are loads of people sharing DIY & open source microscope builds. Is there a database or curated list of them all somewhere? tia :)

Really cool @Raspberry_Pi / @pimoroni based microscope. @OSMicroscopy @LabOnTheCheap nature.com/articles/s4159…

New NicoLase config. Mix and match 6 lasers between makers w/ easy alignment, then put launch and the rest of your 'scope gear into a rack that fits nicely under an optical table. github.com/PRNicovich/Nic…

Great open source system for nanoinjection! @OSMicroscopy. I would love to try!

Open hardware fans : NicoLase now includes Micro-manager device support. Set up laser config channels and toggle output w/ GUI. Use in multi-D acquisition or any plug-in. Works just like filter wheel + shutter. Check out repo for latest updates. github.com/PRNicovich/Nic…

We can recruit! Opportunities in my team at Uni. Cambridge, to develop #lightsheet #microscopy, biochemical imaging and #optogenetics : jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/20929/ Please RT @openspim @OSMicroscopy

Instructions to build Angstrom, a tuneable LED light source for under £100 with 12 PWM controlled LED channels spanning 390nm-780nm combined with fibre-coupled outputs - for microscopy source (instructables.com/id/Angstrom-a-…)

Have you ever had to guess parameters for a denoising algorithm? We have come up with the theoretical framework of 'J-invariance' to explain how to optimally tune any denoising algorithm in the absence of ground truth. Great work with @thebasepoint @czbiohub
