It seems like magic! Also works for increasing the phase range of adaptive optics! Check out this video if you want to be walked through the preprint. youtube.com/watch?v=qO1nenu6… 2/2

NEW PREPRINT: For 2-photon imaging (or any laser scanning), fast scanning often shrinks the field-of-view and/or decreases resolution. Che-Hang Yu found a bunch of ways to increase the field-of-view, with no trade-offs in speed or resolution. 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thanks, Bruno! And if anyone wants to learn more about the optics, they might have fun with this video: youtube.com/watch?v=qO1nenu6…

Fantastic work (as always) from Che-Hang Yu and colleagues in Spencer Smith's lab @Labrigger. Neat method to increase scan speed and/or FOV in 2p microscopy. Commercially available from @pacificoptica . I'd love to build this for a client at some point! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Beautifull! Nisam + Cousa (>3 mm x > 3mm) by Che-Hang Yu et al.

This is actually fun. Try it! Your preprint -> AI-generated fake podcast -> video with actual human commentary -- It's remarkably effective! Awesome optics work to unlock big-and-fast in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, by Che-Hang Yu. youtube.com/watch?v=qO1nenu6…

I wrote to my representatives again. Maybe at this point I should just let them subscribe to my newsletter.

The Ventana SL and Ventana TL are now available. pacificoptica.com/ventana/ This is a new standard in scan engine optics. Nothing else comes close. These optics enable diffraction-limited imaging over a huge field-of-view. They're easy to integrate into your systems.

If you want another level, try our slack-like Nemonic group. Contact me if you want access. 2p.ece.ucsb.edu/ and/or try this link: 2p.ece.ucsb.edu/signup_user_…

I'm on social media to share with technical communities in neuro, optics, computation, ML, etc. I don't need a free-for-all platform with the potential to reach millions. Mastodon is a good fit for me. (2/3)

I have new posts and whatnot here: neuromatch.social/@sls I'm on mastodon because it's simple, clean, open, and a community. It's not perfect, but there's no profit-driven algorithm. Bluesky is nice from what I hear, but it could easily run into the same issues. (1/3)

Replying to @BoninLab
I'll try again right now.

I'm excited about this. If your experiments benefit from having a large field-of-view scanned fast at high resolution, this is beyond anything else out there. It's ready to go. If you want in early, email me and we'll let you know the details. No pressure. It's just very cool.
Here are a couple of shots of one of our new products. Unlocking the widest fast scanning ever. Looking forward to sharing more about this new tech! pacificoptica.com See more. Measure more.

Called it.
2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find. It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.
