Definitely a deal issue with this particular batch of cameras. Will be sending it for repair or exchange :)
Thanks for everyone’s feedback! So follow-up: Hamamatsu confirms it’s a seal problem from that particular batch of cameras. We are shipping it to have it repaired or replaced. 👍🏼
Microscopy Tweeps! I have condensation on the chip of one of my Hamamatsu cameras...
Besides better regulating room temp and humidity, anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with this problem ?

To all our users using @QuPath, learn the importance of acknowledging the hard often unrecognized work that goes behind writing such a tool AND in this case the struggle to release it open-source so we could all enjoy its use. Thank you @petebankhead and all your team!
A small number of people know the real background story to @QuPath, but most don't.
I didn't plan to ever tell it publicly, until a Google Alert today caught my eye.

One of my students just emailed because he is #colorblind and cannot read the red/green figures of some of the articles I use for my course (sadly, there are still many of them). Then I realized that @FijiSc lets you replace red with magenta and I love it!

#DAPI and Hoechst dyes can be photoconverted with UV to forms that would be seen in green and red channels.
Avoid this issue by capturing channels in longer wavelengths first and/or by limiting UV exposure.

Dear microscopy tweeps,
We would like to purchase a core facility laptop for image analysis. Do any of you have any special spec recommendations? We mostly use Fiji, Qupath, Olympus software, MBF Bioscience software and Imaris...

Acknowledge your core facilities and their staff scientist correctly. They deserve credit for their work and input!
Today we've released our Imaging Facility Publication Guidelines!!!!
Designed to be displayed in #imaging #corefacilities, they aim to give recognition to our amazing #imagingscientist and acknowledgment to appropriate grants.
Please help us spread the word!
