I am thrilled to be a part of Optical Microscopy #OMIBS2024! It’s been an amazing experience thus far; I am learning so much. Thank you to @BioImagingNA, The Histochemical Society, and ZEISS Microscopy for making my dream a reality. I cannot wait to take back all this knowledge to Africa Microscopy Initiative!

Introducing the Paleo-FISHES Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) The Paleo(biology/oceanography) - Fossil Ichthyoliths, Sedimentary History, and Ecological Studies Lab focuses on how fish, sharks and marine ecosystems interact environmental changes through (deep) time. www2.whoi.edu/site/paleofish…

The last few days of #OMIBS2024 has been all Fluorescence, FRET, FLIM, Fourier transforms and PSFs. We built another scope… fluorescence this time. Here’s an image of us with our microscope then an FFT image of that image! Optical Microscopy Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)

The excitement continues at #OMIBS2024! We've been learning all about STED, SIM, SMLM and lightsheet microscopy over the past few days. Thank you to the amazing faculty and vendors for teaching us lots! Optical Microscopy Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Africa Microscopy Initiative
