Microscopy Tweeps! I have condensation on the chip of one of my Hamamatsu cameras...
Besides better regulating room temp and humidity, anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with this problem ?

For users with questions about what they are allowed or not allowed to do with their images: register!
The STM Working Group on Image Alteration and Duplication Detection have developed best practice recommendations for handling image integrity issues
At our upcoming free to attend webinar, these draft recommendations will be presented

To all our users using @QuPath, learn the importance of acknowledging the hard often unrecognized work that goes behind writing such a tool AND in this case the struggle to release it open-source so we could all enjoy its use. Thank you @petebankhead and all your team!
A small number of people know the real background story to @QuPath, but most don't.
I didn't plan to ever tell it publicly, until a Google Alert today caught my eye.

One of my students just emailed because he is #colorblind and cannot read the red/green figures of some of the articles I use for my course (sadly, there are still many of them). Then I realized that @FijiSc lets you replace red with magenta and I love it!

#DAPI and Hoechst dyes can be photoconverted with UV to forms that would be seen in green and red channels.
Avoid this issue by capturing channels in longer wavelengths first and/or by limiting UV exposure.

Dear microscopy tweeps,
We would like to purchase a core facility laptop for image analysis. Do any of you have any special spec recommendations? We mostly use Fiji, Qupath, Olympus software, MBF Bioscience software and Imaris...

Acknowledge your core facilities and their staff scientist correctly. They deserve credit for their work and input!
Today we've released our Imaging Facility Publication Guidelines!!!!
Designed to be displayed in #imaging #corefacilities, they aim to give recognition to our amazing #imagingscientist and acknowledgment to appropriate grants.
Please help us spread the word!

This is a fantastic course to add to your degree with great mentors @EoloSon and @BettinaForget! Discover what art can do for your science and what your science can do for art !
The fourth iteration of the course 'Convergence: Art + Neuroscience + Society', is now open for registration at @CU_FineArts via CREPUQ system
convergenceinitiative.org/ for more info!
Monday will mark the return of users to our platform😬 Just finished reorganizing the booking system to enforce social distancing. Thanks once again @stratocore for making this easy!
Email explaining all the changes to the users coming tomorrow! 👍🏼
The MCMP has a finalist in the "La preuve par l'image" scientific image contest! Congrats to @nuwan_hettige ! Please consider voting for his stunning confocal image here: bit.ly/35Sg1Qk
Oh! There are prizes for voters too!
Don’t miss out on this webinar tomorrow! Expect many expectional super-resolution images!
