Ian Nauhaus, whom UT Austin recently nabbed, is sharing his code for intrinsic imaging and visual stimulation.
The visual stimulation code is based off of Psychophysics Toolbox, which is already in use by…
This month, Nature Methods highlights a couple of open light sheet microscopy projects.
First up…
There have been wrappers for interfacing with the Kinect device before, but the latest update to MATLAB makes it native to the Image Processing Toolbox. source

Editorial preface: Labrigger takes submissions from anyone. We post them if they’re potentially useful. In this case, we received some material from a commercial source. Labrigger is not endorsing their products. But we recognize that…
Last Monday, Labrigger covered HelioScan, a LabVIEW-based, two-photon laser scanning microscopy software suite.

With its newly introduced scan head, Scientifica’s 2p scope is finally a complete package. They’re happy to sell their modular design in pieces, so this fills the void between fully custom rigs and turnkey…
Enrico Stefani’s lab at UCLA has a couple of crack engineers on board, Yong Wu and Pedro Felipe Gardeazábal Rodríguez. These two fellows built a custom STED system and have documented the setup on …
This paper (York et al. 2012) came out earlier this year, but I thought it’s worth highlighting here, give the subject matter.
We present a hybrid technique, multifocal SIM (MSIM), that combines the resolution-doubling characteristics…
Quickpalm is an open source software package for DIY PALM and STORM implementations. They’re responsive on their discussion forum and have a wiki with a decent amount of technical information.

Drosophila embryos are a fraction of a square mm, and go from fertilization to hatching (as a larva) in about 22 hrs. So it’s possible to image individual embryos in their entirety…
To project 3D image stacks to a 2D image, several different algortithms can be used. Maximum projections and averages are the most commonly used. Neither of…
