A week ago we installed the new 2P-laser #Insight X3 by @spectraphysics.bsky.social
This laser is now the new heart of our #DIVER microscope.
Expanding our opportunity for spectroscopy #690-1300 #WavelengthMixing #FLIM #CARS #Pump_Probe
We are very excited!!!

Many thanks #AntonioCostaFilho for the kind invitation to participate in the pre-meeting #SBBf course โ€œPhase separation at membrane interphases: Biomolecular condensates in Actionsโ€. Happy share session with #RumianaDimova #Condensates #LLPS #Bioimaging #Phasors #DANprobes

Yes, this is great application for bioluminescence that Michelle and other colleagues are developing. I still remember first time Enrico Gratton share with me his idea in Buzios-Brazil!

Thanks Christophe for remembering out discussion in Montevideo. I thought it was a good idea since modulated filters will catch one molecule at a time. I'm glad the authors also saw the potential.

I'm thrilled to share this with the community.
Take a look, feedback is always very much welcome!
Congrats Bruno Pannunzio Marcelo Leomil Zoccoler !

-FLIM calibration, multi-harmonic analysis, filtering/thresholding, Cursors selection, average lifetimes (tau mod, tau phase, tau normal), two components (multi-components coming soon), and FRET module.
-HSI analysis using the same tools, just under a bottom push.
- Sample data for FLIM and HSI.

Extremely excited to share quite an achievement for our group. Two years ago, we started #PhasorPy (www.phasorpy.org, now in our v0.8). In parallel, Bruno Pannunzio, in collaboration with Marcelo Zoccoller, led the hashtag#Napari_Phasors plugin v0.1 for FLIM & HSI phasor analysis.
