Join Our Next TechUp Webinar! 🔬 Ever wondered how scientists visualize chemical processes happening in real-time within complex biological systems? Join us on October 23 as Klaus Koren from @au.dk reveals groundbreaking optode technologies that make chemistry visible! Link in comments
#Optodes

No more worries with thick hair blocking #fNIRS signals! The Brite optodes & holders are designed so you can easily move hair aside & quickly ensure perfect scalp contact.

Better signals, smoother measurements, and faster setups—so you can focus on what really matters! 🧠✨

And I published a preprint🥳
We combined O2-sensitive optodes, root imaging, and N2O microsensors to identify and characterize N2O hotspots in the rhizosphere of maize🌽

Great collaboration with many cool people (that are not on bluesky) including @cwmsoils.bsky.social

I don't have a paper, but we could measure/map it using Microsensors and/or planar optodes. Can't tag Klaus Koren as he's not on bluesky, but please reach out if you're interested!

On the front cover of issue 16 of ‪Analyst.
Unusual response behavior of ion exchange-based potassium ion-selective nano-optodes based on bis(crown ether) neutral ionophores and a cationic solvatochromic dye.

Oxygen measured by optodes can drift with time and is influenced by pressure when the optodes go into the deep ocean. We correct for both of these issues and show accuracy of about 1%!

😎 Fascinating new multimodal work from Rogers et al (2025) introducing a co-localized #fNIRS– #EEG cap using custom grommet designs.

High-density fNIRS optodes to attach directly to EEG electrodes, without interference.

optodes' positions may have a greater impact on measurements of absolute scattering versus absorption coefficients. For example, 4.1% and 19% average errors in absolute absorption and scattering, respectively, can be expected by displacing every [4/6 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.00892v1]

🌊 Have you ever wanted to measure oxygen on moored platforms in the ocean? If so, do it right by following the protocols we developed by working with over 60 oxygen optodes in the sub polar North Atlantic. NSF-funded with the most amazing team of scientists 🤩 and led by wonderful Dr. Una Miller!

Populating an fNIRS cap with 200 optodes is no joke 😮🤩🧠

Hard at work piloting the fNIRS

🎄Day 14🎄Precision meets comfort with the SAGA & APEX #EEG pin electrodes!
Designed to deliver superior data quality while ensuring user comfort, these electrodes fit seamlessly with #fNIRS optodes in the same headcap, using our combined holders

✨ Integration
With our SAGA/APEX–Brite packages, integrated holders allow #fNIRS optodes and #EEG electrodes to be placed at the same spot. This simplifies setup and expands the possibilities of combining modalities.
