Microscopy & Art

Sit down at the scope. Drag the slide, switch objectives, turn the focus knob, and toggle channels. Below are images from my work and what I make outside the lab.

Virtual microscope

4× / 0.13, in focus

Objective

Fine focus Laser power

Photobleaching 0%

FRAP: tap the specimen to bleach a spot and watch it recover

Channels

Slide map

Generated specimens. These are drawn by code to look like the kinds of samples I image, not real data. My real images go in the galleries below. Each objective needs refocusing, just like a real scope. More laser power means a brighter image but faster photobleaching. In FRAP, you bleach a spot and watch fluorescent molecules diffuse back in. How much returns tells you the mobile fraction.

Art

Things I make outside the lab. Some of it looks a lot like what I see under the microscope.
