📷 Call for Papers: Quantitative Phase Imaging at SPIE Photonics West 2025! 📷 • Abstract Submission Deadline: 17 July 2024 • Conference Dates: 25 - 30 January 2025 📷 Submission Instructions: spie.org/pwb/conference…

UIUC researchers found that fluorescent labeling reduces #CellViability using a 95% accurate assay by quantitative phase imaging (QPI) from #PhiOptics' CellVista-SLIM and #MachineLearning, highlighting the need for label-free #QPI in cell-biology research. ow.ly/mpaF50Sk5Cu

We celebrate our awesome boss ⁦Melissa Skala⁩ and her renewal position at ⁦Morgridge Institute⁩

Watch this beautiful compilation of sensitive cells including mesenchymal stem cells and primary human keratinocytes, where highly dynamic subcellular organelles, such as mitochondria, lipid droplets, lamellipodia, nucleus, nucleoli, etc. can be clearly analyzed!

Proud of this latest publication from graduating PhD student, Kevin Bishop. In this 5th-generation of OTLS microscopes from our lab, we improve axial resolution to reduce out-of-focus background in densely labeled specimens (e.g. our fluorescent anolog of H&E).

☑️ 4 years ☑️19 students ☑️ 1 comprehensive review article about the tissue microenvironment The CCIL's Tissue Microenvironment (TiME) Training Program published a comprehensive review article about the TiME that can serve as a guide for researchers. 👉 go.illinois.edu/TiMEReview
