#AdaptiveOptics (AO) was developed to wipe out atmospheric aberrations from astronomical observations. The same technique is now being used in #microscopy to illuminate biological specimens.

Are you doing cell biology or biomedical research? Light microscopy-based imaging? If a facility for (multiplexed) imaging would pop up in your department, what would be your expectations and wishes for it? If you (would) run one, what is crucial?
I’ve applied for a (multiplexed) imaging facility manager job and would like to collect a few use scenarios (think tools, training, data analysis) to prepare for the interview. #CellBiology#Microscopy#Imaging#Biology#LightMicroscopy#Science
Many thanks to my co-authors Leanna, Satya, Jesse, Leong, and to the entire @AICjanelia team for their feedback!
Every stage of a #microscopy project requires decisions, and those decisions are prone to #bias. In this paper, we use illustrative examples to describe potential pitfalls, and also provide strategies for mitigating bias.
#Janelia is offering a 12-day bootcamp designed to demonstrate how biological queries and hypotheses steer experimental designs on various #microscopy platforms and across length scales from molecules to small animals:
