Joerg @bewersdorflab lecturing at #OMIBS2023 @MBLScience about the various methods to achieve 3D SMLM. Abraham Kohrman @vutara_ @bruker had a much funnier way of explaining the biplane approach at last night's tech bites session!😆

Next up at #OMIBS2023 @MBLScience ... Binyam Mogessie from Yale taught us about the difficulty of keeping oocytes alive during imaging, in particular given their large size. Imagine imaging an ostrich egg!

Jacqueline Leung celebrates her #OMIBS2023 lecture in a suitable way with co-director Joerg @bewersdorflab ... eating a popover from Pie-in-the-sky!

On day 8 we got a sneak peak into this amazing regime of Expansion Microscopy @OMIBS_MBL #OMIBS2023 🤯 @MBLScience

It has been a honor to be part of the @OMIBS_MBL class of #OMIBS2023. For a person who never operated a microscope ever, winning the 3rd place at the best imaging award with @cewang35 and @Tinakscience was surreal. Thankyou @AlisonJNorth and @bewersdorflab and TAs @AntaniJo

Some fabulous new lectures at #OMIBS2023 @MBLScience this year... Jacqueline Leung from the Rocky Mountain Labs gave a fab lecture about spatial omics and showed these exquisite images of ticks from Sazzad Mahmood. Sazzad, time to enter - and win? - some imaging competitions!

[Alison North @AlisonJNorth]

And now we finish the #OMIBS2023 course @MBLScience with the Horizons Lecture where the fabulous Emma Lundberg is teaching us about the Human Protein Atlas. 20 million images? Now that's a challenge for data management!!

[Optical Microscopy @OMIBS_MBL]

SO MUCH DATAAAA!!!!

Packed room at the Horizons Lecture @MBLScience #OMIBS2023 by @Prof_Lundberg

Our friends from the DL@MBL course have also joined us for the lecture.

Bring on the competition! Battle of the iSIM and SoRas at #OMIBS2023 @MBLScience. Thanks to @NikonInst @Evident_LS and @VisiTech_UK for taking part in the race. Steve Coleman is loving it for sure.😆

A physicist's rendering of excited and ground-state fluorochrome molecules!! @bewersdorflab

Catching up a quick break at the windy shore on Day 4 @OMIBS_MBL #OMIBS2023 with @cewang35 and @gmaxot 💨💨

[Anirban Ray @anirbanray_]

Starting out with our much needed break @OMIBS_MBL #OMIBS2023

[Alison North @AlisonJNorth]

The Prospective Instruments guys made it in to #OMIBS2023 @MBLScience today by walking the whole way from Falmouth, since the roads were all closed... and the Zeiss team biked all the way and still barely made it across the bridge. You guys ROCK!!!

The fab @LeicaMicro team working with Sid Shaw's slides at #OMIBS2023. Affectionately known as the "s**tstorm slide" it contains bits of red hot Cheetos and goodness knows what else to obscure the lovely beads...😂

[Alison North @AlisonJNorth]

Sergey and Scott from @Thorlabs demo-ing their multiphoton system fitted with a @CoherentLaser to image heart at #OMIBS2023 @MBLScience. It's incredible how fast they can now image big FOVs - I confess I am blown away by the developments in recent MP systems!

[Optical Microscopy @OMIBS_MBL]

Demos/vendor tutorials of the most cutting edge scopes have started at #OMIBS2023

Chris Bjornsson, the in-house @zeiss_micro specialist @MBLScience showing off and teaching about the in-house Zeiss LSM 980 @MBLScience:
