Super Res Sunday! And we are doing all the techniques:)

Light sheet lab. We image anything from cells to plants to shrimp. @fedegasparoli.bsky.social @excitedemissions.bsky.social are running the machines!

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Light Sheet Saturday is here. @jencwaters.bsky.social and @talley.codes lecture on how to improve your photon budget by illuminating from the side.

Looking for samples for our lightsheet microscope and expansion microscopy lab, @fedegasparoli.bsky.social and @lycasworks.bsky.social go on an expedition during low tide.

Confocal lab is where we show off the power of optical sectioning. Only one question remains: point scanner or spinning disc?

072

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Hard to decide what’s better the beautiful weather or the lectures by @talley.codes and @jencwaters.bsky.social on confocal microscopy. (it’s obviously the lectures)

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Hands on TIRF microscopy and machine learning segmentation has students up all night.

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

We are getting serious about analysis. Today Hunter Elliott and @florianjug.bsky.social introduce machine learning and AI. It’s not magic, it’s computers.

We tried other brands but nothing works quite like a Guinness for our light sheet microscope. Future collab?

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Today @bethcimini.bsky.social and @damiandn.bsky.social lectured on image correction and colocalization. Key take-home: The computer can’t do magic; if you don’t collect photons at the microscope you can’t make them appear later.

0164

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

What a day! After briefly enjoying the beautiful weather we went back into our dark microscope rooms and learned more about SNR and the different sources of noise in images. Did you know you can report intensity values as photons instead of arbitrary units?

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Today Hunter Elliott is lecturing on image processing. Key take-home before lunch: There is no free lunch:)

This is me!! Currently in the QI course at CSHL… 🔬💡 It’s been 3 days (or 2 weeks??) and I’ve learned that NA means more than “not available,” that Köhler was very into conjugate planes, and that my eyes suck at a level I didn’t know was possible. Very excited for what's coming!! 👩‍💻

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Today’s labs on digital imaging! sCMOS? CCD? So much more!

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Learning about the components of a microscope. How are images formed and what is that back focal plane everyone seems so excited about?

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

This morning‘s lecture is about Koehler illumination. Pop quiz: What happens when you close the condenser aperture?

QI@CSHL @qiatcshl.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Cleaning objectives is a very important skill to learn! @fedegasparoli.bsky.social showing how it’s done:)

We are back! @jencwaters.bsky.social giving the first lecture of 2026 QI at CSHL. Two weeks of intense microscopy training ahead.

Don't let the price of QI deter you! QI offers financial aid through NCI, HHMS, and @bioimagingna.bsky.social. Include a brief statement of need with your application. Aid is distributed by CSHL (not the course instructors). Many of our students - sometimes all! - receive significant support.

Applications for QI 2026 are due on Friday! 🔬 🖥️ 📊 😺

Our latest preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1..., describes Willi Stepp’s project to make smart microscopy even gentler by doing event detection in phase contrast. We developed neural networks to detect mito-LD and mito-lysosome contacts, as well as mitochondrial pre-fission constrictions.
