One more @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social meeting and counting… #BPS2026! Great as usually, meeting old friends and making new ones. This time was my first one with of my students #JessicaRossello postdoc at @IPMontevideo developing new methods for bacterial wall studies 🔬🌈

A week ago we installed the new 2P-laser #Insight X3 by @spectraphysics.bsky.social This laser is now the new heart of our #DIVER microscope. Expanding our opportunity for spectroscopy #690-1300 #WavelengthMixing #FLIM #CARS #Pump_Probe We are very excited!!!

Extremely excited to share quite an achievement for our group. Two years ago, we started #PhasorPy (www.phasorpy.org, now in our v0.8). In parallel, Bruno Pannunzio, in collaboration with Marcelo Zoccoller, led the hashtag#Napari_Phasors plugin v0.1 for FLIM & HSI phasor analysis.

Muktar is now our ambassador in Nigeria, sharing the power of HSI-Phasors for basic biomedical problems. His impact on our group has been significant, and while we'll miss him, I believe this is just the start of a strong bond between our groups 🇺🇾🔬🇳🇬 See you soon Muktar! Safe travels

After 3-weeks of intense training at #UBA, #MuktarLawan from #BioRTCNig is now able to handle cell culture 🧫 and fundamentals of optical microscopy 🔬 on his own. He is ready to move on to the next level, #HSI 🌈 and #Phasor 💻, to study nuclear dynamics in health/disease
