🚨New pre-print out now!🚨

We 3D printed a large optical element that enhanced the illumination, contrast & image quality in transmission stereomicroscopy. This simple addition to the illumination path lets us detect refractive structures & dynamics unobserved by conventional stereomicroscopy.

Are you fed up wasting time and photons in laser scanning microscopy? Our latest work, PerfectlyAverage, can help to determine optimal parameters for line and frame averaging while considering photobleaching. More information in our preprint! 🔬 bit.ly/PerfectlyAve...

First senior-author paper is out today in the Journal of Microscopy! 🧪🔬

We present the first 3D printed microscope where both the optics & frame are entirely 3D printed - a low-cost, accessible, and reproducible tool for histological imaging!

New Scientist (@newscientist.bsky.social) wrote a feature on our work! 🧪✨🔬

We made the first fully 3D printed microscope, with potential for rapid customisation and low-cost manufacturing.

🚨 Pre-print alert! 🚨
We have developed a robust protocol to reveal the ultrastructure of live Candida albicans using stimulated emission depletion microscopy, tracking organelles with high spatial precision for more than 12 hours.
