@ManuelZannone I don’t really use twitter any more, but… that does look like it could be. If the blobs are completely unchanging over time, it’s probably debris on the sensor window. If they appear/increase on a timescale of minutes, it’s condensation. Good luck…

Has anyone else had problems with condensation on sensors of Andor cameras e.g. Zyla? We have had two cameras fail in this way, and are being told this is expected and normal, and told that it is standard that we should pay for a regular and a very expensive "service" of camera.

For high-flying international researchers looking to build a career in the UK (up to 7y post-PhD), this is a great scheme to consider. If you're into smart microscopy, in vivo imaging, FLIM, dynamic samples, let's talk. For other🔬topics I'm happy to introduce you to other UK PIs

Looks like you know our favourite supplier all too well 😂. It was indeed upwards of £150 for the replacement!

How much did the replacement part cost? (see first post for photo)

@LEMacKz Indeed! Pretty sure the holder is from a bike shop

@jtimaging Looks like something you could fit to a turbo-charged bicycle!

Friday poll: How much does this replacement part cost? Clue: it's bought from a well-known optics company. (I can't put a photo and a poll in the same post, but poll is in first reply)

Thanks to @royalsociety and @MRC_LMB, @lab_baum and I are looking for a student to develop the next generation of fluorescent proteins for live and super-resolution imaging, as part of the LMB's four-year PhD programme. www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/students/inter…

I think Hopfield has the best vision about what physics is. It is not about the object you study, but rather the way you study it quantitatively.

Could you become a mentor for students under-represented in STEM subjects? 💙 Amplify Mentoring pairs @UofGSciEng students with @UofG_Alumni & industry mentors. 🤝 Are you a graduate or currently work in these areas: @UofGChem, @GlasgowCS, @UofGEngineering, @UofGGES, @UofGMaths_Stats, or @UofGPhysAstro? Get in touch! It’s just 30 minutes a month, and you can make a significant impact. Register your interest by 18 October ➡️ gla.ac/3MniVTf

Great chat with an enthusiastic undergrad student after my numerical physics lecture. Asked me how I learned to program and I described self-teaching C++ in my bedroom as a teenager. "So what was it like when everyone was phone phreaking and things?". Dude, I'm not THAT old 😂

@Thorlabs Thanks! Awaiting an email response from UK tech support, who will hopefully be able to assist

@jtimaging Please let us know if you need assistance!

It's the first day of the undergraduate term, and the sump has dropped out of the air compressor in my research lab - oil everywhere. How's YOUR monday going!?

Microscopists - does anyone know of any literature on the saturation limits for AlexaFluor dyes? Similar to this excellent paper that quantified the behavior of GFP sciencedirect.com/science/articl….
