Before we get to the image gallery, below is the link to a cool video, "White coats so bright" - aka "That's What We Like" -- Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Class of 2021 |
the featured image is Tiki_Goddess (old) - Dr. McNamara's mascot at CHLA, UMiami, Cooper lab @ MDACC, and as of May 2017, Ross Fluorescence Imaging Center.
New 2020: Tiki_Goddess_2020 is now online ( https://works.bepress.com/gmcnamara/86/ ). Too big (~150 Mb) to post full size here, you can download from the bepress web site ('Selected Works' a free authors web site for JHU staff).
Tiki_Goddess_2020 is July 2020 scan of Tiki_Goddess microscope slide. filename: Tiki_Goddess_2020 Plustek OptiFilm 8200i Hamrick Vuescan Pro Adobe Photoshop 6 - 7200dpi crop.tif Plustek OpticFilm 8200i 35mm film scanner. Film strip holder modified by GM for microscope slide (snipped off crossbar, added double sided tape, positioned slide for two scans, "top" and "bottom). Hamrick Vuescan Pro, 7200dpi (3.6um pixel size), 4-scan average, 64-bit RGBI (16-bit per channel RGB and near infrared), saved both 64-bit RGBI and 48-bit RGB TIFF. Vuescan Pro very fast prescan, very nice and flexible "RAW" scanning capability. Adobe Photoshop 6 (we have CS3 etc, 6 worked), opened 48-bit tiff, changed mode to 24-bit, merged the two panels. Cropped to fit. Uploaded to bepress. |

Talley Lambert's Fluorescent Proteins Database, including spectra viewer https://www.fpbase.org/spectra/ example below is Quinine excitation and fluorescence emission (shine a UV blacklight on Canada Dry, Schwepps -- or another brand -- tonic water, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinine emulating Johnnny Herschel's 1845 report) and our FISHscope's Hamamatsu ORCA4.0LT sCMOS camera's quantum efficiency curve.
Especially nice is interactive chart https://www.fpbase.org/chart ... I like Y = Brightness, X = emission, screen shot (so static) example below

20180522 Tue Confocal Microscopy dominates (among U.K. survey respondents anyway):
BBSRC UK 201805 - Strategic review of bioimaging - 1805-bbsrc-strategic-review-of-bioimaging
https://bbsrc.ukri.org/news/research-technologies/2018/180518-n-strategic-review-of-bioimaging-in-the-uk
(link from Jason Swedlow post, confocal listserv 20180521 Mon).
Fun quiz question: do you know what every technique/acronym is? (I know most of them ... I note some are subsets of others, for example PALM, STORM and STED are subsets of Super Resolution fluorescence microscopy' some are ambiguous: "Tomography" is the "T" at the end of several acronyms).

Olympus FV3000RS Confocal scanner IX83 microscope stand - arrived August 2018.
***
FISHscope ... ordered 1/2019 ... Olympus IX83 microscope stand, so looks a lot like FV3000RS, except without the scanhead and two HSD detector decks on back of scope above (our FV3000RS also has two external GaAs detectors on top the "top deck").
