How to properly use antiglare screen to prevent obstruction of the light path

Image
We have observed dim images in the top-left corner of the screen, which occurs in both fluorescence and bright-field imaging (see below image).  We believe that the antiglare screen's misalignment with the light path is causing the obstruction. This issue, which might arise when users remove or insert slides into the sample holder, has been brought to their attention.

  https://globalbioimaging.org/international-training-courses/gbi-singascope-2024-course The deadline is 8 July 2024. Currently, only Singapore has a well-established Bioimage core within the Southeast Asia region. Sooner or later, Malaysia will be next. (accessed date: 2024-June-23) I have raised the issue regarding establishing the core here at RC. So far, no progress.

Okinawa Microscopy Workshop 2024 (Extremely Useful Materials)

Okinawa Microscopy Workshop 2024 I had the incredible opportunity to attend the microscopy workshop at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology . I was immersed in a wealth of microscopy knowledge and bioimage data analysis. The instructors from AIC Janelia HHMI , the Neuroscience Microscopy Core Facility at UNC , and the Image Facility at OIST were true experts, enthusiastically sharing their experiences in microscopy, bioimage analysis, and scientific integrity. They even encouraged us to share the teaching materials to help grow the bioimage community within Southeast Asia! I feel so fortunate to have been selected as a participant – I hear the competition was fierce! Workshop participants came from all across Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines) and nearly every region of Japan! The atmosphere was dynamic, productive, and occasionally a bit stressful as we worked to complete our assignments. https://www.aicjanelia...
