Happy #WorldSpaceWeek - an excuse to keep celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first direct detection of gravitational waves!

Our scientists played key roles in the field, including developing LIGO detectors' mirror suspensions which enable detections.

This paper by our very own Dr George Brydon describes SIMply, a Python image simulation tool that simulates spaceborne image data. The tool is:
- accessible
- simple
- flexible
- free and open-source.

Happy #WorldHearthDay- a very difficult organ to image!

In the video you can see how our researchers used 3D microscopy to capture the growing hearts of zebrafish embryos - they were the first to do this while it beats.

This could give insights into the human heart.

Our very own Dr George Brydon developed an open-source software tool set to transform the way scientists and engineers design imaging systems for space.

[Glasgow City of Science and Innovation @cityofscience]

🚀A new tool from Glasgow Uni is democratising camera design for space exploration by enabling researchers to model how cameras capture light, offering advanced simulation capabilities once limited to major corporations

We are delighted to belatedly celebrate winning the Best Image Award at 17MCM in Portoroz, Slovenia. The image of the magnetic domains in a meteorite was acquired in
@UofG_MCMP using 4DSTEM DPC. Congrats to winners @DrTrev_Almeida, Emily Wackan, Josh Einsle and Stephen McVitie!🥳

[UofG News @UofGNews]

A powerful software tool developed at @UofGPhysAstro capable of accurately modelling how cameras capture light could help democratise the development of new imaging systems for use in space.
