PhD in BioPhysics.
Scientist who worked at the Genome Institute of Singapore. Worked on 3D lightsheet and confocal microscopy for 3D spatial transcriptomics via multiplexed error robust fluorescence in situ hybridisation (MERFISH).
Goodbye Mr Snouty. I had a lot of fun working with you. It has been a blast. Hopefully the next scientist/engineer who works with you will enjoy the process too.🥹

Caring for your friends in science means lending them your neutral density filter wheel to see if it will help to alleviate their microscope problems

I had the opportunity to conduct a hands-on workshop on basic optical alignment today!
Zesheng and Alex, from Dr Liang Kaicheng's group, joined me in the optics lab where we covered the basics such as "walking" the laser beam, collimating lasers, and checking back reflections!

We have started to work on 3D spatial transcriptomics of the whole larval zebrafish brain and I'm excited to share an image that we recently acquired in the lab!
Every bright spot or blob represents the RNA molecules that we've labelled and imaged!
The image below is 1750*1050 microns.

I'm still amazed that my Pixel 7 can see stars with the astrophotography mode amidst all that light pollution in Singapore.

It was a sunny day at #BiopolisSingapore

And the results are in!
The #1.5 glass coverslips that we have are all thicker than the 170 microns I expected. The range is supposed to be 150-190 microns. And different brands of coverslips have slightly different distributions too!

We finally got a micrometer screw gauge (with a ratchet) to measure the thicknesses of our #1.5 glass coverslips to see how close they are to the specified 0.170 mm thickness with micron precision!
The first two were 0.183 and 0.212 mm thick.🤷🏻‍♂️

Got a chance to enjoy the hot weather and see some touristy sights in Singapore today!
