🔬peeps!
I am delighted to finally publish my code for controlling a spatial light modulator (SLM) to perform adaptive optics & to sculpt the vortex beams for STED & MINFLUX microscopy - complete w graphical user interface for easy use!

One of the reasons why I love poster flash talks.
You already know the face behind the poster. You can open with "I'm curious about x you said" instead of "would you walk me thru your poster 🥱". The short format gives stage to more speakers & topics.
And it's super fun to present in 3 minutes.
I think it's because (a) it's humanizing, (b) it provides a jumping off point for future conversations rather than a cold start, (c) maybe you said something interesting worth following up on, and (d) people can put a face with your name.

Do you work with confocal, STED or MINFLUX microscopes, commercial or homebuilt? Do you struggle with control of your spatial light modulator or with incorporating adaptive optics, or do you just need more flexibility? Have a look at my SLM control code:

#microscopy #preprint alert!
The manuscript shows how to correct sample drifts. In 3D, with nm precision, not requiring more hardware than a widefield arm!
Congrats @JakobVorlaufer 🥳
I wrote the SLM control software used for aligning the control beams 🤓

Image-based 3D active sample stabilization on the nanometer scale for optical microscopy
Super-resolution microscopy often entails long acquisition times of minutes to hours. Since drifts during the acquisition adversely affect data quality, active sample stabilization is commonly used fo...

Weekend escape from never-ending Viennese winter-fog to sunny Rax.
Super happy to see the first bit of sugar-coating on the mountains ❄️
But the best treat was the frozen waterfall. Simply majestic!
