Don't let the price of QI deter you!
QI offers financial aid through NCI, HHMS, and @bioimagingna.bsky.social.
Include a brief statement of need with your application.
Aid is distributed by CSHL (not the course instructors).
Many of our students - sometimes all! - receive significant support.

FPbase Fluorescence Spectra Viewer An interactive fluorescence spectra viewer to evaluate the spectral properties of fluorescent proteins, organic dyes, filters, and detectors.

The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it!

comparison table for v2 and v3

Production has started for a new #Snoutscope objective, AMS-AGY v3. It has significantly larger FOV and some other tweaks from v1 and v2. Currently accepting pre-orders. The price will need to increase modestly after deliveries start late October.
