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.

One of the most useful resources for anyone who uses fluorescence methods.
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!

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.
