What’s new this year?
The original post on building a 2p scope still gets a lot of hits. Let’s revisit the topic.
Scientifica
Scientifica has been working hard on developing a kit for multiphoton imaging. It’s all based off of their minimalist, yet versatile SliceScope platform.
I’ve had the opportunity to check out their collection module and…
Sensapex is the new kid on the block for micromanipulators, and theirs have an ultra small footprint with 20mm of travel on 3 axes. Here are some pictures of one of the…
Apple’s Safari web browser v5.1 has an annoying behavior where tabs reload/refresh like crazy. This can cause lost work and data.
Disable the problematic behavior this way:
1. Close Safari
2. Open a terminal and enter this command
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1
3. Restart Safari. You should see a new menu to the right of…
For the next two weeks, you can get a personal 1 year subscription to any of the Nature publications for a…
One of Josh Trachtenberg’s rules that I have adopted is “No Homemade Cables”. It’s so natural to think that this is the best solution to hook…
Fritzing is PCB design software (EDA) in the spirit of Arduino and Processing. It’s open source, cross-platform, streamlined, and simple to use. It doesn’t do simulations, but you can lay out your circuit in a GUI that looks like a prototyping board, then move…
Let me add some clarification to the hybrid PMT post.
The actual signal that comes off of a PMT in response to a photon is a pulse of…
George McNamara is planning on updating the massive PubSpectra (previously mentioned here).
He’s currently soliciting submissions. Do you have any to contribute?

Hybrid PMTs have made their way into fluorescence microscopy and are competing with GaAsP PMTs. (Well, actually, Hamamatsu makes both types, so it’s not really competition…
In many rigs, multiple computers are used, and they need to talk to each other. For example, one computer handles…
Within the PubMed architecture, there are a lot of resources, visible on the pulldown list next to the search field. If you browse down a bit, you’ll see “Books”. (direct link)
These…
I’ve used Wescor Vapro osmometers for a long time. Specifically, the model pictured above. They’re nice machines. But now I think freezing point osmometers are better. In this post I’ll talk about why.
The…
Quick OSX tip: if you’re finding that your OSX system is quite busy even though you haven’t asked anything of it, check to see if the processes “mds” and “mdworker” are chewing up CPU cycles (view active processes in Activity Monitor).
If so,…
