Win for the day: Managed to bring back a Yokogawa CV1000 back to life, after it lost the computer. The most memorable part of this work for me was tracking down the Graphin frame grabber device driver; I contacted its Japanese manufacturer in Japanese.

Attended the talk given by my former student Kazu Okuda @kazebrafish.bsky.social from at the @ancvdb.bsky.social meeting. Very impressed by the quality of his work. Nicely done. #zebrafish #ancvdb2025

Used the "Galvo flow" function on the @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social #SP8 #MP #microscope for the first time since I was trained 11 years ago.

Our Poppies the pick of the bunch Six researchers from the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia have been named as this year’s South Australian Young Tall Poppies.

Absolutely thrilled to receive an AIPS 2025 SA Young Tall Poppy Award! Wouldn't be possible without our wonderful team, dedicated patient advocates, & various funding bodies that allowed me to connect with scientific/non-scientific groups to communicate our research. www.unisa.edu.au/media-centre...

Helped out a facility user to improve his immunofluorescence experiments. He was very happy with the results. A happy facility user makes me happy.

Attended the talk by @digmanlab.bsky.social at the #APMC13 meeting. I knew of the #Phasor plots for #FLIM but didn’t know you could resolve emission spectra. Need to know how that can be achieved…

PMTs used in Super #Kamiokande and Hyper Kamiokande.

PMTs used in Super #Kamiokande and Hyper Kamiokande.

#PMTs used in Super #Kamiokande and Hyper Kamiokande, displayed at #Gifu #Kakamugahara Air and Space #Museum. They are huge (20 inches). Wondered what S/N we would get if these are used in #confocal #microscopes.

We have an LSM800 exactly in the same configuration. I’ll make sure to put a drop sheet over it if we ever clean our AC vent.

Gave a go at this scholargoggler.com thing. I see it's heavy with #zebrafish, #bloodvessels and #imaging related items.

Nightmare from 2002 was back today. NDDs on the Leica SP8MP kept shutting down due to minute lights in the darkened microscope room. Low tech solution was the lightproof curtain to cover the whole rig. Just like back in 2002 on the Bio-Rad Radiance 2000 MP...
